00:00 Here in today, Clienton, you had nearly a thousand head, which was more than you usually get here.
00:06 Well, for this time of the year, yes, but it's just the place is becoming known as a good selling centre,
00:12 hence the cattle are coming here, Andrew.
00:15 Now, Hardwick's and the Meatworks put a lot of heifers, what do you put that down to?
00:20 Good yield on the heifers, and a nice line of heifers to go and to feed,
00:24 and obviously they're sourcing cattle now to secure numbers for the winter months.
00:30 Duncan Brown was a major buyer today, he really put a floor in the market, didn't he?
00:36 Yeah, Duncan had about five or six different orders to go to Dubbo and further north,
00:41 and certainly put a floor in the market for some of those smaller, younger cattle,
00:46 as well as his killer order as well.
00:51 So, overall, how would you rate it?
00:53 We thought it was a very solid sale, all the good Angus cattle, whether steers or heifers,
00:59 sold to very good, solid competition.
01:01 Some of the off-bred cattle could have been slightly cheaper,
01:05 but overall thought it was a very good result for the quality and yardage of the cattle.
