Matawhero sale July 29

The sale at Matawhero on Friday began with a few words and a moment’s silence for well-known local identity and long time agent Barrie Gordon, who passed away last weekend.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

A line-up of 210 lambs was in stark contrast to the 3000 offered at the last sale; but what was offered sold well. Many lambs were forward types. Male lines earned $105, ewe lambs $93.50.

A handful of prime two-tooths fetched $81, prime mixed-age ewes $68-$70.

Scanned-in-lamb ewes were highly sought-after and sold well on limited numbers. Mixed-age Coopworth ewes, SIL 180%, made $137-$144, Coopworth two-tooth ewes, SIL 180%, sold for $131.
