Dunedoo store sale numbers heavily affected by rain but prices were up $300

Milling Stuart agent, Angus Stuart, Dunedoo, said there was just over 200 cattle yarded as 90 millimetres of rain in the district for the past week affected numbers.

"It was very much a rain affected yarding with quite a few advertised cattle not making it due to the wet weather," he said.

Despite the lower numbers Mr Stuart said prices were up about $300 from the most recent sale, two months ago.

Weaner steers made $1800 to $1910 and yearling steers sold for $1500 to $1760.
