Around 6000 ewes were yarded as part of the supplementary ewe fair. Good-quality lines sold well, but lower-quality types were hard moving at times. Good two-tooths were $193-$236. A few top lines of older ewes were up at $180-$191, but the mid-range was $140-$155, with a number of still reasonable-quality lines down at $125-$130. It was a decent sale for the 5000 lambs. Good males were $100-$110, mediums $90-$100, and lights $70-$80. Medium ewe lambs were $80-$90. Read more in your LivestockEye.
