Commentary

Lamb numbers increased and the quality was fair. A very large percentage of the yarding were Dorpers with a very limited supply of crossbred and Merino lambs which were dry and there was not much weight through the yarding. Light store Dorpers were in demand and there was solid competition from buyers for the trade and heavy Dorpers. Overall, the market was firm with only the very fresh lambs having a slight increase.

Restocking Dorper lambs to 16kg sold from $56 to $165/head. Trade Dorpers ranged from $220 to $262 and the 24kg to 26kg sold from $278 to $285/head. Heavy weights reached $298/head and most averaged from 1085 to 1100c/kg cwt.

The few shorn lambs sold from $226 to $265 and heavy weights $254 to $279/head or 1030c to 1050c/kg. Heavy Dorper hoggets reached $290/head.

Mutton number lifted and the quality was good. Prices were similar with medium weight ewes selling from $140 to $196 and heavy crossbred ewes reaching $318/head. Dorpers made to $308/head and most sold from 730c to 790c/kg cwt.
