Commentary

Lamb numbers lifted and the quality was mixed with a plainer run of store lambs and a leaner run of trade weights, but a good line up of heavy weights with a few extra heavy lambs. Lambs under 20kg were cheaper with less competition and quality. The trade run was leaner and there was little competition from feeder allowing the trade to buy those leaner lambs, the heavy weights were dearer.

Light lambs under 20kg were back around $10/head and sold from $170 to $240/head. The trade lambs were firm to $10 cheaper only because of the leaner lambs in the mix and sold from $253 to $304/head and averaged between 1200c and 1250c/kg. Heavy lambs were $15 stronger and sold from $275 to $365/head and despite the odd pen with broken skins most sold from 1200c to 1270c/kg. Extra heavy lambs reached $399/head. The best priced hogget reached $340/head.

Mutton numbers lifted and prices were stronger lifting $10 to $15/head most on the medium and heavy weights, extra heavy mutton was close to firm. Merino ewes reached $272 and very heavy crossbred ewes $381/head. Big Merino wethers with a long skin reached $340/head and most sold between 900c to 960c/kg.
