There were mainly trade and a few heavy weights penned along with an increased number of lighter Merino lambs. All the buyers were operating and competition was sound with the market holding firm.

Light lambs to the restockers sold from $220 to $263 down $10, Merino lambs from $140 to $183/head. Medium and heavy trade weight lambs were fully firm and averaged from 1290c to 1305c/kg cwt. The heavy trade weight 23 to 24kg sold from $284 to $320/head.

Heavy weight lambs were $4 to $5/head dearer and averaged 1175c to 1279c/kg cwt. Heavy weights sold from $315 to $330 while extra heavies sold from $338 to $341/head.

Mutton numbers lifted and quality improved with some good heavy sheep offered and prices were $8 to $10/head dearer. Heavy first cross ewes sold from $284 to $340/head or 870c to 940c/kg cwt. Medium weight Merino wethers sold from $197 to $230/head averaging 820c/kg cwt.
