A clash with the Feilding Marton Hogget Fair and recent COVID-19 status meant the lamb market at Stortford Lodge last Wednesday lacked spark, and prices dropped for all but medium-good ewe lambs at $115-$132. Heavy male lambs returned $135-$160 and mixed-sex were mainly lighter types and sold for $88-$105. Ewes with younger lambs earned $90-$112.50 all counted.
Buyers were selective on cattle, though by sale-end most sold to recent levels. R2 Angus heifers, 299-321kg, varied from $2.65/kg to $2.84/kg and most beef-dairy, $2.42/kg to $2.61/kg. Well-finished R2 beef bulls, 495-510kg, returned $2.99-$3.07/kg and Friesian of same weight, $2.97/kg. Younger Friesian bulls, 250kg, made respectable values at $3.04/kg.
