Australia-Summer calf sales start.

AUSTRALIA.

SUMMER CALF SALES.

The big calf sales begin in earnest in Australia in the southern sates of Victoria and New South Wales. There will be around 70,000 head on offer next week.

The recent rains and the good live export trade from the north, means there will be no shortage of buyers and plenty of cattle going up north for finishing.

Calves are expected to make US$130c/kg for good calves around the 300 to 330 kilo mark. Many farmers breed their calves especially for these sales.
