Vol. 109 - JANUARY 2012 ISSUE

Our Meatworks and Store Sale on Monday saw the resumption of all major processors buying for 2012. The market eased on late last year, a trend that commenced a week ago, and is somewhat expected with good numbers of finished cattle reaching processors.

Don’t miss our 2012 Steer Sale on Thursday 2nd February, we are still able to take bookings if you have steers to sell. Burnett Livestock & Realty and Bendigo Bank Agribusiness are offering a complimentary BBQ breakfast from 7am to 8am. Prize presentations will commence at 8.15am sharp followed by the sale from 9am. The vendor of the Champion Pen wins a Leichts CIA Pro-Chute Immobilizer Vet Crush. For more information please call our office on 41271277 or one of our Livestock Team. Refer to the Steer Sale Flyer on the last page of this newsletter for class information. We welcome judging and non-judging cattle and have a Lucky Vendor prize on offer. To download a printable flyer click on this link Steer Sale Flyer.

HGP Treated Cattle

We cannot emphasis enough how important it is to complete your National Vendor Declaration correctly. If your cattle have had a hormonal growth promotant please ensure you answer yes to the HGP question on the NVD. With many markets now demanding HGP free livestock the repercussions of making a mistake with this are huge.

National Vendor Declarations

Please take care when completing your NVDs. Please ensure all of the questions are answered accurately, including Question 3 relating to how long you have owned the cattle. Cattle owned less than two months will not have as many buyers bidding due to a lack of history of the cattle. If questions are not answered correctly and we are unable to contact you before the sale commences the sale of your cattle will be affected.
