Commentary

Numbers lifted marginally as agents offered 4,800 lambs and 900 sheep. Lamb quality this week was generally fair average to good with some outstanding extra heavy weights on offer. Heavy lambs eased as trade weights hovered generally either side of firm. The usual trade and processor buyers were active along with specialty butchers, feeders and restockers and while extra heavyweight lambs topped at $402/head there was not the same sense of urgency with the buyers that was prevalent last week. Light sheep remained firm with trade and heavy sheep slightly easier.

Crossbred light stores sold from $160 to $200 as the better types ranged from $180 to $230/head. Trade weights sold from $250 to $265, heavy trade weights ranged from $280 to $315 with extreme heavy weights selling from $320 to $402/head. Merino stores sold from $170 to $230 as trade weights ranged from $250 to $280. Heavy trade weights sold from $285 to $300 as the few extreme heavy weights ranged from $330 to $360/head. Light mutton sold from $140 to $190, trade weights ranged from $200 to $230 with heavy weights selling from $260 to $280/head.
