Speaker 1 (00:08):
Welcome back to the muster. It is time for the
calves sale report. Thanks to boy kaka pold Hereford's for
an outstanding lineup for real performance balls at the fifty
second annual Bullsale Thursday, the twenty eighth of May. Andrew
Martin from PGG writes is on the line that the
sale happened at Loudville this morning. Andrew get a how'll
we go?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah? Good a there, Andy, Yeah, we had probably a
very good lineup of calves down here at Launville, covering
through Angus, Angus Cross, exotic calves predominantly Charallets and a
few Simantles, and then a few other other breeds as well,
Belgian Blue Cross, Speckle Parks, Herefords and the like. So

(00:53):
good good lineup for calves approximately somewhere between eight hundred
to a thousand head just rolling through those prices. The
Angus steer calves ranging in weight from two thirty through
to two sixty K's was sixteen fifty through to eighteen hundred.
At two hundred to two twenty ks we were fourteen

(01:13):
hundred to sixteen hundred, and the exotic calves where we
had a little bit more weight on offer. The three
hundred to three fifty kilo calves were eighteen hundred through
to twenty one hundred, the two fifty to two eighty
calves were sixteen hundred through to eighteen hundred, and in
the bull market to sixty to two seventy kilow bulls

(01:33):
were making sixteen hundred through to seventeen fifty. Into the
heifer market to eighty through the three hundred and twenty
kilo heifers sixteen hundred through the two thousand dollars, the
two twenty to two sixty kilo heifers twelve hundred to
fourteen hundred, and the lighter weight the younger calves, the
one eighty to two hundred kilos were making nine fifty

(01:55):
through to eleven hundred. The angus angus cross market was
in very very strong demand across all weights, right from
the lighter weights through to the better weights. The exotic
calves would be next in demand, slightly behind in a
CPK to the angus and the other breeds, probably another
twenty to thirty cents per kilo, a drift of the chalets,

(02:19):
but all in all a successful day down here.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Any so, pretty much the sale today resonated what we've
seen recently.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I would think so the only the last calf cell
I saw was at Castle Rock where there was a
lot more a lot bigger lines and a lot more
of those angers type cattle, and I would suggest that
not the weight in the calves up in that part
of the world is what is in some of the
ones down here. But all good demand across all classes

(02:51):
to be fair.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
So what's your words to people who are listening they're
not sure if they want to put the calves on
for next week, what do you say?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, I'd say if you haven't booked them in for
next week, you probably missed, Andy, is what I'd probably say.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So the demands there in other words of the vendors,
the affronting yes, yes, yes, we've.
