According to a spokesperson for Dowra Mart, some 860 lots changed hands at its general cattle sale on Saturday, November 6^th, 2021.

They reported that “quality lots were dearer, but plainer cattle, especially bull weanlings, were an easier trade.

“A big entry of 150 dry cows and the same again, good cows were very dear, but the poorer, older cows were harder sold.”
