The market was heated for both hoggets and new season lambs at Feilding last Monday. Most hoggets were $166-$179 though one pen of males stretched to $183. Any decent lines of new season lambs made $161-$181 with the remainder $136-$154. The top ewes sold for $170-$189 followed by 75% of the tally at $131-$167. The remaining lighter ewes traded at $110-$130. The cattle mix was unusual as beef cattle outnumbered dairy types. Friesian cows were selectively bought with the top pens 500-570kg and $1.89/kg.
