The old season lamb wind-down began at Stortford Lodge last Wednesday, as supply more than halved. Results varied and good males eased to $125-$130, as did heavy ewe lambs at $134-$166. Good types had a better sale and improved to $120-$130. Ewes with lambs-at-foot also eased and the top lines reached $109-$114 all counted.
Cattle volume fell, though featured some big lines of hill country entries. A small entry of R2 beef-dairy heifers made $2.73-$2.76/kg, while a pen of 34 R1 Angus steers, 266kg, sold for $3.78/kg. Beef-dairy steers averaged 225kg and $3.07/kg, and 178-258kg heifers of same breed, $2.64-$2.75/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
