Weaner steers sold to a top of $1230 a head.
A total of 437 cattle were yarded for the final weaner sale for the week and Ray White agent Matt Spry said the sale was very successful.
"It was a very strong market with cattle going to as far north as Queensland and further into the south and well supported locally," he said.
Mr Spry said the quality of the cattle was very good, including a feature line of steers from the Wearn Family, Holbrook, with the top end sold to feedlots and backgrounders.
"The heifers were also very strong," he said.
"We did not have as much weight in them but a very sought after article."
