“Friday’s sale is coming together with 5000 plus cattle ready to go,” Mr Murtagh said.
“The sales have been broken up into two due to large numbers and the other sale will be held on Wednesday, February 5, with a combined total of about 9500 cattle.
“We predict a large influence of interstate buyers who will make a strong presence from southern QLD and NSW who will look to buy in numbers keeping the price drive firm.
“Cattle producers have put in their heart and soul in over the last 12 months to prepare their cattle for this week's sale to present the absolute best quality in their stock.
“Friday’s sale is the biggest day on our calendar year, and we expect to see a large showing of local presence who will also be looking to re-stock numbers who will be up against interstate competition which as a result, will see a boost in the market prices.
“The cattle industry is sitting in a great position with a great consensus among producers and buyers that the market is moving forward, instilling a breath of fresh air in confidence and the sale on Friday will most definitely show a reflection on where we are all heading.”
