A slight lift in cattle numbers was met by a solid bench of buyers at Stortford Lodge last Monday. The main feature was two lines of Angus heifers, 437kg and 486kg, which were consistent at $2.58-$2.59/kg.
Out in the sheep pens both lamb and ewe throughput lifted. Top end mixed-sex lambs strengthened for most, up to $124-$170.50.
Increased ewe numbers did not impinge the market for better quality types, though mid-range to lighter ewes softened. Top ewes strengthened to $141, with the balance of very-heavy types steady at $129.50-$131, and very-good $108-$111. Light-medium ewes eased to $58.
