There were a few extra heifers but they varied in weight and condition and reflected in values. The best 410-520kg sold for $2.46-$2.48/kg.
The bull market remained steady with most 675-805kg at $2.70-$2.80/kg.
Both prime lamb and ewe numbers were well down on last week, perhaps because of the short week.
Lamb prices remained steady despite the reduced numbers, because a significant number were a little plain. The best lambs equalled last week’s top price of $118.50.
Several pens of light ewes were offered, though the market for light to medium ewes had a slightly firmer tone. Top ewes made $67-$73, medium $53-$67.50, light $37-$51, lesser sorts $27-$30. Ewes run-with-the-ram sold for $55-$71.
