Commentary
Agents penned approximately 4000 less sheep and lambs for a plain quality yarding. Most pens were unfinished or light types. A smaller field of buyers were present with both major domestic buyers absent.
There were few quality pens on offer across the trade lambs with light and medium plain and prices declining as a result. Lambs from 19 to 22kg sold from $120 to $148/head. Heavy trade lambs were dearer by $10 due to scarcity selling from $170 to $185//head averaging 750c/kg. Light lambs to the processors were softer selling from $80 to $105/head. Restockers were not operating.
A small offering of mutton sold in a firm market with heavy Crossbred ewe’s reaching $100 and Merinos sold up to $95/head.
