Just under 50 cattle were yarded at Stortford Lodge last Monday and all sold on a steady to firm market. A small consignment of ex-service Hereford bulls, 540-557kg, were purchased for $3.15/kg.
Out in the sheep section lamb throughput increased to 1950, with solid demand from the rails. Heavy to very heavy male lambs eased slightly to $165-$204.50, as did mixed-sex to $160-$183, while heavy to very heavy ewe lambs held at $173.50-$190.
A smaller ewe yarding sold in smaller lines to strong demand, with improvements across the board. Heavy mixed-age ewes lifted to $184-$188, as did medium to good at $115.50-$152.
