Commentary

Numbers were down in a very mixed quality offering of both sheep and lambs. There were limited supplies of well finished heavy weight lambs while plainer condition lightweight young lambs were plentiful. The usual processors were in attendance and there was a little more restocker competition.

Restockers were active on the light weight young lambs with a dearer trends resulting in most cases. There was some quality related change. Demand for the light and medium weight trade lambs was solid while strong demand for the well finished heavy weight lambs was very strong. This demand saw significant improvement in those heavier weight classes.

Processor demand was also high in the sheep market, once again the preference was for the well finished lines. Most classes sold to dearer trends with the heavy weights showing strong gains.
