Buyers travelled from Moruya, Canberra, Goulburn, Harden, Bega, Moss Vale, Bungendore and also a good following from the Braidwood area.

The Store cattle market was made up of a good run of medium to lighter quality weaner steers, a small run of heifers with a good supply of cows and calves.

After the good supply of rain over the past few weeks prices averaged in the steers $100 dearer than last month’s sale.
