Commentary

Numbers declined by around 1000 sheep and lambs, however, quality remained very good with additional weight on offer and good runs of consistent finish and weight suiting the export buyers. Finish across the trade weights was mixed and prices deflected this with lambs selling over a wide prices spread. All buyers were present and operating.

Trade lambs finished firm to $10 easier with some quality pens helping keep a floor in the market. Light and medium trade sold between $208 and $238/head. Heavy trade from 23 to 26kg sold between $233 and $289/head to average 1065c/kg cwt. Despite a number of operators buying across the heavy and extra heavy export type lambs prices finished $6 to $7 softer. Heavy lambs sold between $291 and $331/head and over the bulk of the over 30kg lambs sold between $331 and $386/head with a single pen of woollies selling for $400/head. Light lambs to the processor slipped $5 to $7 making between $185 and $204/head. Restocker’s operating up to $225 on unfinished types. Few feeder lambs sold between $144 and $188/head.
