There was not as much buying power with more locals than outside buyers. The heavier lambs eased the most, but most lambs were steady.

Ewe lambs generally traded steadily at $72.50-$85.50. Most male lambs earned $81-$91. The top price of $97.50 was for a line of shorn cryptorchids, with most of the top male lines more than $90.

A small offering of average condition ewes were offered with most run-with-ram (RWR). Two-tooth RWR sold for $67-$76 while mixed-age RWR were largely $60-$70, though the largest line made $100. One line of good scanned-in-lamb ewes sold for $121.

In the cattle department, there weren’t a lot of stand-out steers but what was offered sold to good demand, with older steers firm while R2 steers lifted.

Good R3 steers fetched more than $3/kg with Angus to $3.11/kg, while the rest returned more than $2.85/kg. In the R2 section, 50 Angus and Angus-Hereford, 406-483kg, earned $3.15-$3.18/kg.

Not enough bulls were offered though prices were only steady. The better R2 bulls fetched $2.92-$3.00/kg.

The quality of the heifers was not up to recent levels and prices eased. Most R2 heifers earned $2.70-$2.80/kg though 20 Angus, 303kg, reached $2.87/kg.

Interest in all the weaners waned and prices eased, with the best line of steers failing to meet reserve.
