Commentary

Numbers lifted by 955 sheep and lambs with a total of 935 New Season lambs on offer. Quality remains very mixed with most lambs suiting the domestic buyer. Competition slipped this week with two major export processor’s absent and domestic processor’s securing a market share. Overall, the market finished firm.

Shorn lambs were better supplied. Medium trade lambs sold between $253 and $270/head. Heavy trade up to 26kg made between $270 and $320/head ranging from 1050c to 1200c/kg cwt.
