The first sale for a fortnight produced a yarding of 24240 lambs. It was a fair quality yarding with some excellent lambs yarded along with a number of secondary lambs showing the effects of the dry conditions. There were large numbers of exotic lambs penned along with large numbers of Merino lambs and hoggets. Compared to the sale of 2 weeks ago trade weight new season lambs were $10 dearer selling from $206 to $292 to average 1160c/kg cwt. Trade weight old lambs were $8 to $12 dearer with the 20kg to 24kg lambs selling from $210 to $298/head. Heavy weight lambs were up to $12 dearer with the old lambs over 24kg selling from $272 to $369/head. Heavy weight new season lambs sold to $320/head. Merino lambs were up to $16 dearer with trade weights selling from $180 to $279 while magnificent heavy weight Merino lambs sold to $362/head. Lambs to the restockers and feeders were $9 dearer with young lambs to the restockers selling from $204 to $260/head. The feeders paid to $270 and hoggets sold to $308/head. There were 5750 mutton yarded where the market was erratic with the very best of the heavy crossbred sheep selling at dearer rates. Most of the balance of the sheep though were $2 to $8/head cheaper. Merino ewes sold from $146 to $302 while crossbred ewes sold from $195 to $354/head. Merino wethers sold from $182 to $295 while the restockers paid $154 and $158/head for shorn Merino wethers to fatten. Report produced by David Monk
