Ewe and lamb throughput lifted at Stortford Lodge last Monday with just over 1200 penned. Ewes had increased interest, and this pushed the top pen to $190 while heavy types improved to $147-$157.50. Very-good ewes traded at $130-$140 and light-medium strengthened to $92.

Lamb numbers doubled on the week prior with most good to heavy types. Most males held and very-heavy cryptorchid and ram lambs returned $190-$198. Good males fetched $111-$123 while mixed-sex of similar weight improved to $141.50-$143. Heavy to very-heavy ewe lambs lifted to $138.50-$160.

Just five cattle graced the rostrum and four prime steers and heifers, 525-545kg, traded at $2.65-$2.70/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
