A total of 4854 cattle were yarded on Friday where weaner steers sold to a top of $1440 a head.
Kevin Miller Whitty Lennon and Co director Luke Whitty said the sale was very strong with a really high quality yarding.
"I thought in general the market was $30 to $40 a head dearer across the board," he said.
"A lot of steers made from 350 cents a kilogram to 420c/kg and a lot of heifers made from 270c/kg to 330c/kg."
Mr Whitty said buyers were mostly local, along with western and northern buyers, with most restockers looking to put cattle away.
Light weaner steers weighing less than 200 kilograms sold for $450 to $880 while weaner steers weighing 200kg to 280kg mostly made $750 to $1115.
