Commentary

Lamb supply fell for a limited yarding and quality was very good for the trade and heavy weights, while there was the odd penned that lacked finish throughout. There were mostly trade and heavy weight lambs penned, no stores were offered. All the buyers were present and competition was solid with the market firm to dearer.

Medium and heavy trade weight lambs were $5 to $6/head dearer and averaged 1205c/kg cwt. Heavy trade 23 to 24kg sold from $271 to $298/head. Trade weights to the feeders sold from $275 to $282/head.

Heavy weight lambs were firm to $5/head dearer and averaged from 1070c to 1155c/kg cwt. Heavy weight lambs sold from $295 to $305 while extra heavy weights sold from $310 to $390.50/head.

Mutton supply was very limited and difficult to quote. Medium Merino ewes sold from $185 to $223/head.
