Commentary

Numbers lifted again today to 11080 sheep and lambs. The increase was due to a larger volume of lambs while Sheep supplies remained similar to a week ago. There were lines of good lambs yarded today however there was a slight decline in Quality from last weeks yarding. The market as a whole was softer from last weeks gains even though the buyer gallery had a large crowd. The odd pen of trade and heavy lambs did reached last weeks values but most lots were $4/5 softer. Mutton also eased in values along with mature rams.
Store lambs eased $4/5 as the smaller dryer lambs started from $20 up to $105 with more frame or better freshness while light lambs were firm selling from $75 to $134/head. Trade lambs were also softer to sell from $100 to $166 and heavy lambs sold from $145 to $200/head.
Merino wether hoggets lost the gains they received last week easing $10/12 with stores ranging from $35 to $71 and heavies from $75 to $125 with a skin. The better Merino ewe hoggets made $50 to $91 to remain barely equal while Crossbred hoggets sold to a top of $122 and the best young rams realized $80/head.
All grades of mutton were back $5/7 with bigger framed boning grades selling from $30 to $74 while medium ewes returned $50 to $90 and heavy ewes sold to a top of $108/head. Mature Wethers returned a top of $106 and Mature rams have eased heavily selling from $2 to $40/head.
