Dowra Mart 29-10-2022 – Cattle Prices

According to a spokesperson for Dowra Mart, just over 800 cattle changed hands at its most recent sale on Saturday, October 29^th, 2022.

The spokesperson noted that trade was “very strong” for quality lots, but plainer types proved to be a “harder” sell.

The spokesperson remarked: “Store cows were also back in price, but the heavy cows topped out at €2,200 for an 890kg entry. The top price for the heifer weanlings was €1,490 for a 360kg Charolais-cross.”
