Agents and vendors combined to present 1598 head to the market for last week’s McDougall and Sons sale. The stock was drawn from near and far with the Central Downs, Warrego, New England as well as our local producers in the Southern Downs. The market was firm for the good trade and export weight stock, with the lighter stock selling on finish and freshness. The mutton was reasonable for the stock provided without any big runs to entice the exporters to go full bore. Lambs topped at $178 to av $113.87 ($6/head down), Hoggets topped at $114 to av $87.36 (Par ), Ewes topped at $170 to av $33.11 ($17/head down), Wethers topped at $92 to av $41.40 ($37/head down), Rams topped at $60 to av $22.43 ($35/head down), Lamb rams topped at $110 to av $73.93 ($33/head down ). The sale total of 1598 with a three-quarter ratio of lamb types to mutton saw a fall of $18/head across the sale. This was not a bad result with the number of light mutton and lambs at the sale.
