Total Yarding: 8540 (+607) | Sheep Yarding: 5132 (+299) | Lamb Yarding: 3408 (+308)
Numbers were up 600 head on last week with the sale consisting of just over 5000 sheep and 3500 new and old season lambs. The buyer gallery was very crowded with the regular processors and feedlotters present along with several restockers bidding strongly on most categories, particularly ewes for breeding as well as interest from the eastern states competing mostly on new season lambs. As a result of the extra competition, the lamb market gained $5/7 while the mutton market lifted $10/12/head.
New season store lambs were selling from $92 to $175 while light lambs were making $155 to $194/head. New season trade lambs returned $180 to $220 while heavy lambs over 22kg cwt made $220 to $257/head.
Old season store lambs up to 18kg cwt started from $141 up to $194 while trade weights returned $160 to $208 and heavy lambs sold to a top of $230/head.
Lighter framed Merino wether hoggets sold from $110 to $184 while bigger frames sold to a top of $224/head. Store Merino ewe hoggets were making $115 to $168 and heavy weights sold to a top of $231/head. Crossbred hoggets with good cover returned $170 to $220 and a pen of young Merino rams with 80mm of wool sold to a top of $230/head.
Plain light framed ewes were making $95 to $120 while bigger framed boning grades sold from $120 to $168/head. Medium ewes returned $160 to $234 and heavy ewes sold to a top of $257/head. Heavy wethers were selling from $186 to $240 while mature rams ranged from $120 to $200/head.
