Commentary

Agents at Warwick penned 984 lambs and 406 grown sheep just a small increase on last week. All the regular buyers attended and operated strongly on a better run of prime lambs and mutton which sold to dearer trends. The yarding of store lambs was mixed in quality with the better bred lines attracting extra competition from the restockers buyers.

Young lambs under 12kg gained $36 and sold from $68 to $101/head. Young lambs in the 12-18kg range lifted from $7 to $27 and sold from $115 to $187/head. Older lambs in the 18-20kg range to restockers sold from $170 to $250/head. Lambs in the 22-24kg range to suit the butcher trade sold from $256 to $290/head. Lambs to processors sold from $251 to $348 with the best heavy lambs at $350/head.

Light weight hoggets to restockers sold from $120 to $170/head. Heavy hoggets to processors improved by $50 and sold from $180 to $270/head.
