A quality yarding of prime sheep was offered at Coalgate last Thursday. Prices lifted and buyers easily absorbed extra numbers. The top lambs made $160-$188 while the rest were evenly spread out from $120-$159. Not many ewes made $200-$230, but the majority were $140-$197 while lesser types were generally $100-$139. The top cut of the store lambs made $110-$115 while half traded at $90-$106 and the balance $60-$90. R2 Angus-Friesian steers, 436-443kg, performed best amongst the store cattle at $2.02/kg.
