There was solid interest through the prime lamb offering. Much of the sale made $110-$116, while the rest were spread across $81-$99. Heavier types consistently made more than $100, even going as high as $132, though the bulk of mixed aged lines were $92-$99.

There was a little easing found in the store lamb trade. The ceiling remained at $80 for the heavier end, though the majority went for $65-$75. A handful of breeding ewes sold well at $107-$117.

Prime steers 570-720kg nearly all made $2.85-$2.88/kg, though one 545kg line went up to $3.03/kg.

Heavy prime heifers 512-558kg were only just behind their brothers at $2.75- $2.84/kg, easing to $2.62-$2.66/kg for 466-490kg.

One-year steers were in short supply, peaking at $2.91-$3.00/kg for 237-406kg traditional lines. Small one-year heifers sold decently at $710-$835 for traditional 231-261kg, while 340-390kg Hereford-Friesian’s made $910-$1065.
