Commentary

Lamb numbers were steady and the quality was similar with plenty of store lambs and a limited supply of well finished trade and heavy weights. There was a strong restocking group and shorn lambs were attracting a premium. The market sold to strong trends with the trade and heavy lambs firm to $5 stronger but after a very strong sale last week for the store lambs, they were back $5 to $6/head.

Restocking lambs to 18kg sold from $191 to $268/head and heavier weights reached $281/head and ranged from 1250c for the heavier weights to 1480c/kg for lighter weights. Trade lambs 20 to 24kg ranged from $255 to $295 and averaged 1180c to 1220c/kg cwt. The 24 to 26kg lambs sold from $281 to $306 and heavy weights reached $316, extra heavy lambs topped at $348/head. Merino hoggets reached $315/head.

Mutton numbers lifted and prices were stronger despite a lot of the sheep being shorn. Merino ewes reached $260 and heavy crossbred wethers $303/head. Most of the mutton sold from 820c to 880c but some of the light and medium weights were pushing over 920c/kg cwt.
