Commentary

Numbers eased slightly for a mixed quality yarding with only a few store lambs and plenty of trade weights but some of the lambs, although having weight were lacking cover. There were good runs of heavy weights and a much better line of trade Merinos. All the buyers were active this week and the prices surged $20 to $25/head across most lambs.

Trade weights to 24kg sold from $230 to $309/head with the bulk ranging from 1140c to 1200c but there were several sales with the neatest trades selling to the mid 1200c/kg. Lambs 24 to 26kg sold from $292 to $328/head or 1216c/kg on average, heavy lambs to 30kg sold from $310 to $360/head and most averaged from 1140c to 1160c/kg. Extra heavy lambs topped at $373/head. Merino trade lambs sold from $200 to $266/head and averaged 1070c/kg and the best price for a hogget reached $266/head.

Mutton numbers fell and light and medium weights were dearer lifting between $15 and $20/head but heavy weights over 30kg were slightly cheaper. Medium weight ewes sold from $178 to $226/head and heavy crossbreds reached $288 and Merinos $266/head. Most sold between 780c and 840c/kg cwt.
