Agents and vendors combined today to present 2130 head of sheep and lambs to the local and export markets. The split between lambs/hoggets to mutton was a 70/30 split. The good heavy and trade lambs were a bit dearer and the light weight lambs were slightly cheaper except for the lambs straight off the ewes. Mutton was in the same fold as the lambs the heavy end was firm and the lighter end was just off the boil. Hoggets with weight and finish were firm to dearer with the lighter cheaper. Rams made a few statements today with some ex stud Dorper rams selling to $350. The total yarding of 2130 head averaged $125.56 a rise of $3/head week on week.
