Gracemere combined agents sold a reduced yarding of 1,325 head, consisting of 375 steers, 461 heifers, 409 cows, 43 mickey bulls, 37 bulls and 17 cows & calves.

Gracemere’s fat market today met firm competition upon last week, albeit with a greatly reduced yarding. Feeder cattle remained strong, including high quality brahman backgrounders reaching crossbred rates. Weaner cattle saw a softening due to low numbers.
