On November 12, 2026, 4,631 head of cattle were yarded at the Western Victoria Livestock Exchange in Broadwater. Steers sold for a top price of 605 cents a kilogram, averaging 540 cents a kilogram, while heifers reached a top price of 532 cents a kilogram, with an average just under 500 cents a kilogram. Some producers reported selling cattle due to dry conditions in areas like Caramut and west of Woorndoo.
