Spring weaners are flooding the Victorian cattle markets with up to 25 per cent more calves hitting the state's saleyards this month.
Producers are "taking the money" and selling light calves, which are being absorbed by local backgrounders, as well as major orders destined for NSW's Coonamble, Central Tablelands and Riverina.
"You're better off to sell now than feed them through a tight winter," Commission buyer Duncan Brown said.
