Yass steers to $1340

Numbers dropped from the recent weaner sales to a total of 1713 cattle yarded which mostly consisted of weaner steers.

Jim Hindmarsh and Son agent Nick Harton said the market was back from the last weaner sale the previous fortnight.

"On the better pens of black steers they wouldn't have been that far behind but on the bits and pieces it was definitely cheaper," he said.

"The better weighted black cattle sold okay - anything that wasn't straight black in the steers was tough and met more a subdued market.
