Commentary

Numbers wise it was a mirror sale to last week with around 7500 lambs and just under 3000 sheep. There were reasonable supplies of trade and heavy lambs showing weight and finish but the vast majority were store lambs with many under 12kg cwt. After last weeks gains store and light lambs lifted another $10/12 and heavier lambs jumped $25/30/head. Most lambs across all categories are selling over 1000c/kg cwt while tail end lambs are starting from 820c upwards. Although mutton supplies are light there were some well-presented lines of heavy Merino and Cross-bred ewes also recording dearer rates of $25/30 while boning grades remained firm.

The first of the new season lambs, mostly dorpers were yarded selling from $122 to $237 depending on size while Store lambs under 12kg cwt sold from $20 to $59/head. Store lambs 12/16kg cwt started from $50 up to $189 for bigger frames while light lambs sold from $150 to $210/head. Trade lambs up to 22kg cwt returned $170 to $242 and heavy lambs ranged from $206 to $278/head.

Store Merino wether hoggets were making $50 to $105 and with more frame and weight sold to a top of $212/head. Few Merino ewe hoggets were yarded and ranged from $189 to $216 while heavy Crossbred hoggets were selling from $165 to $200 and younger rams sold to a top $237/head.

Boning mutton ranged from $65 to $160 while medium ewes returned $132 to $200 and heavy ewes sold from $190 to $235/head. Heavy wethers sold from $152 to $203 and mature rams from $40 to $184 depending on quality.
