A larger yarding of Sheep & Lambs hit the market this week with Agents and Vendors working to return a positive result. The yarding of 2331 was a mixed and varied supply of both lambs and mutton. The majority of the lambs to meet the market were either too light or not forward enough. The lots that were in good buckle for the export and trade buyers were at a premium, with the bulk in either secondary rating or back to the paddock. Mutton was the same with a few heavy-end types holding up the averages.
Lambs topped at $231 to av $154.60 ($14 down ), Hoggets topped at $157 to av $94.87 ($50 down), Ewes topped at $110 to av $65.25 ($19 down), Wethers topped at $119 to av $81.56 ($2 up ), Ram Lambs topped at $174 to av $104.64 ($12 down ), Rams topped at $130 to av $109.97 ($6 up ).
