The majority of the prime lambs earned $110-$147 while the best pens stretched to $166. The top ewes made $200-$270, and a good appetite for medium and heavy pens resulted in prices of $130-$196. Most lighter ewes were $95-$127. Hereford-Friesian was the dominant type in the store cattle pens, and many 298-343kg R2 heifers made $1.75-$1.85/kg. Weaners sold well for what they were and $420-$500 encompassed all of the 164-235kg pens of Murray Grey, Hereford-Friesian and Angus-Hereford on offer. Read more in your LivestockEye.
