Commentary

Numbers remained steady and quality was good across all grades with the heavy lambs in top condition. There were mainly trade and heavy weights penned along with a run of store lambs suitable for the restockers and feeders. All the buyers were operating and competition improved with the market selling to a dearer trend.

Light lambs to the restockers and feeders sold from $135 to $240/head. Medium and heavy trade weights were $10 to $15/head dearer and averaged 1090c to 1115c/kg cwt. Heavy trade 23 to 24kg sold from $248 to $278/head.

Heavy weight lambs were $5 to $8/head dearer and averaged from 1040c to 1130c/kg cwt. Heavy weights sold from $280 to $300 while extra heavy weight lambs sold from$298 to $328/head.

Mutton numbers fell and were too limited to quote and quality was varied. Heavy first cross ewes sold from $240 to $260/head.
