Numbers were the same as the previous sale as was the quality with the heavy weights showing good finish while there were some plainer light lambs throughout. There were mostly heavy and extra heavy weights penned along with some trade and store lambs. All the buyers were operating and competition was once again good with the market firm to a little dearer.

Light lambs sold to the restockers from $184 to $244 up $4 to $8, and feeders sold from $250 to $270/head. Medium and heavy trade weight lambs were firm to $5/head dearer and averaged from 1195c to 1210c/kg cwt. The heavy trade 23 to 24kg sold from $267 to $299/head.
