Sheep throughput increased at Stortford Lodge last Monday, and ewe numbers almost doubled. Top-end ewes held at $184-$201.50. Medium to medium-good types softened to $95-$114, while lighter ewes held at $47-$94.
Lamb numbers increased slightly, and demand was solid as buyer numbers lifted. The balance of male lambs improved to $141-$172. Top ram lambs returned $193-$200.50, while most very-heavy mixed-sex lines earned $149-$166.
The cattle offering consisted of a small mainly dairy-bred line-up. All heifers, 405-505kg, held at $2.66-$2.72/kg. Three good Angus cows, 532kg, fetched $2.20/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
