Two big lines of medium weight males sold for $99-$112, two lines of lighter ewe lambs $82-$93. The rest of the yarding was light in number, with most mixed-sex lines that earned $82-$101.

A quality yarding of prime lambs met with good demand. Top lambs fetched $128-$138, good $120-$125, medium $107-$117, light $90-$106.

A small offering of prime ewes met with strong demand, and prices lifted $2-$3 across all weights. Very heavy ewes returned $120-$130, good $94-$113, medium $76-$86, light $52-$73.

Larger lines of ewes with lambs at foot sold for $61-$73 all-counted.

A small yarding of prime cattle was offered. There were some quality, high yielding Angus steers, 550-570kg, that sold for $3-$3.04/kg. Other steers with weight largely made $2.90-$2.96/kg. Forward store steers earned closer to $3/kg.

Local trade heifers, 390-440kg, proved harder to sell and fetched about $2.70-$2.75/kg. Heavier traditional heifers fetched $2.80-$2.85/kg.

Good heavy beef cows largely returned $2-$2.10/kg, the rest $1.70-$1.95/kg.

There were a few medium bulls that varied largely in price.
