Over the Fence – September 2008

Isn’t it great to see a few smiles around the area from local graziers again even though we are in the toughest part of the year feed wise for stock the fat market is now starting to provide some good returns for cows , bulls and bullocks. Have had reports of close to $1000 for good quality ages cows lately, not a bad return after they have done their job. The other part of the cattle market is starting to show prices heading in the right direction is the feeder market, with quotes this week of $2.15 for quality vendor bred cattle. The diminishing Australian dollar certainly isn’t hurting us in any way regarding exports.

The importance of supplementary feeding of cattle over this month and the next will certainly come to the fore, as the low protein levels and available quality of grasses will be of not much value to the stock. Lets hope a little early rain in spring to get the clovers and summer grasses going.
