00:00 So how did the sale go today at Yadi?

00:02 Yeah, very good mate. Solid sale, just on 3,500 cattle yarded.

00:06 We saw our steers pretty well make that $4 mark all the way through the better end

00:10 and then sort of anywhere from $3.70 to $4 pretty well throughout.

00:15 And then on our heifer job, it was very solid on the better end, up around that sort of $3.20s and $3.30s,

00:21 which has been elsewhere.

00:23 And then as we were on the lighter ones, they dropped off a bit.

00:25 Who was buying today?

00:28 We had a lot of Gippsland competition, a couple of Northern orders.

00:32 Sort of widespread mate, but yeah, and a few locals too.

00:35 I guess they've got grass in Gippsland, but other areas are getting quite dry, isn't it?

00:40 So I guess that's where the interest is coming from.

00:42 Yeah, that's right mate. It's very patchy seasonal condition sort of at the moment.

00:46 So there's some good areas and obviously Gippsland is one of those good areas.

00:49 And they're very strong and they bought a lot of cattle here today.

00:53 And then obviously the Northern ballers are strong enough too.
