Prices for females were strong at Friday's Tamworth store sale

Strong demand from buyers at the Inverell store sale on Thursday delivered bids to $3020 for cows with calves

Weaner cattle dominated the sale, with no cows offered.

Volatile cattle market has Bathurst district grazier biding his time.

'Solid and firm' was the consensus today when Monaro Livestock and Property offered 1856 at their 11th annual weaner and calf sale in Cooma.

Prime sales early this week maintained the price levels established just before Easter.

Some very good lines of cows with calves and young steers were offered today at NVLX Wodonga

State-wide strength in weaner sales shows no sign of reduction.

The biggest store sale yarding of 2682 cattle broke the Dunedoo sale record on Wednesday with Angus weaner steers selling to $1850 a head and Shorthorn cow/calf units making to $3800.

The tighter supply of top quality cattle at prime sales means what would have been top dollar a few weeks ago is now only buying mediocre quality cattle.
