Fat Cattle Report
Good morning, this is Shaun McHugh, taking a look at the weekly livestock markets out of Dubbo for the 1st week of September.
Because of a positive COVID 19 case detected at the Dubbo Saleyards, Thursday’s cattle market has been temporarily moved to Saturday so as this report is being compiled we have no market information to give, only to say that sales will be as per normal next week and going forward.
