The sale was delayed for a month over initial fears for biosecurity due to the Indonesian foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
Young Angus steers sold to $2280 as southern region buyers competed for quality stock.
Nutrien agent Russell Mawson remarked on the strong competition, mostly coming from the southern region because of the wet conditions in the north, with prices equating to about $7/kg in some cases.
“I think people have got over the initial concerns about biosecurity and are getting back to business,” Mr Mawson said.
The next sale will be held on Wednesday, October 5.
