Commentary

Dearer market across a smaller yarding, the wet weather reducing numbers from the original draw. Despite the low offering there was a full field of buyers and prices were significantly dearer than a fortnight ago, matching the sharp rises seen across the industry in the past five days. Most trade to heavy processing lambs trended above 1100c/kg cwt despite some mixed quality at times. Lightweight store lambs were also dearer with some southern orders operating.

Young lambs sold to a top of $340 and shorn lambs to $328/head, however there wasn’t a lot of weight in the offering. The majority were tradeweights in the 22-25kg cwt range and sold from $240 to $290/head. Lighterweight crossbred lambs mostly $170 to $230/head. Some lightweight lines of small Merino lambs, which included some long-tails, sold from $67 to $140/head in a dearer result.

The mutton sale was dearer, the decent lines of trade to heavy ewes comfortably trending over 700c/kg cwt and with some light Merino ewes estimated either side of 800c/kg cwt. A small penlot of extra heavy meat ewes topped at $290 and were under $7kg on sheer size. Lead Merinos $200 to $224/head, and leaner trade types $148 to $190/head.
