Large numbers of PTIC females continue to hit the market.
By Simon McKittrick, Logical Livestock & Property
The much needed follow up rain for crops and pasture seems to have eluded most of us, with the official start of winter and a few frosts under our belt things have tightened up again and dried off.
The cold change we are currently experiencing has well and truly let us know winter is here with snow falling across the south, central and north of the state.
Markets have in the most part been reasonably buoyant, however the last week or so has seen gaps starting to appear.
Feeder and slaughter rates have been in demand, albeit a drop in some rates only this week.
Please call us if you are looking to step back into the market or are looking to sell. There are opportunities to buy at reasonable rates, marketing on the other hand requires a bit of planning at the moment to secure the best options available.
