Commentary

There was a fall in the number of lambs offered and the quality was also plainer. Prime trade and heavy weights were limited and feeders were stronger on the trade weights and restockers were keen on the light lambs under 16kg. Not all the usual processors were operating but the market sold to a stronger trend.

Very light restocking lambs sold $10 dearer selling from $36 to $80/head. Light Merinos were $12 dearer selling from $79 to $102/head. Feeder lambs 20 to 24kg sold from $161 to $189 and trade lambs sold from $161 to $206/head and averaging 790c to 840c/kg. The few heavy lambs with condition sold from $186 to $244.20/head and averaged 840c to 860c/kg for the better lambs. Heavy hoggets were $15 dearer topping at $199/head.

Mutton numbers eased and the heavy weights were $15 to $20/head dearer with Merino selling from $150 to $213 and crossbreds ewes reached $240, wethers $262/head. The light and medium weights were back $6 to $10/head. Most average 550c to 640c/kg.
