Commentary

Lambs declined slightly in number and quality was very good for the heavy and trade weights which were well finished. There were mostly heavy weights penned along with a run of trade lambs. The light grades were limited in supply. All the buyers were operating and competition improved to a stronger level especially for the trade categories resulting in a much dearer market.

Medium and heavy trade weight lambs were $6 to $12/head dearer and averaged 1290c to 1305c/kg cwt. Heavy trade weight lambs 23 to 24kg sold from $301 to $322/head.

Heavy weight lambs were $10/head dearer and averaged 1120c to 1150c/kg cwt. Heavy weight lambs sold from $322 to $335 while extra heavy weights sold from $320 to a top of $410/kg cwt.

Mutton numbers lifted and quality improved with some good heavy sheep offered and prices were dearer. Heavy first cross ewes sold from $240 to 363.20/head or 920c/kg cwt.
