The heaviest Friesian cows, 661kg, made $1.94/kg while the remainder over 525kg generally managed $1.69-$1.76/kg. Medium-good store lambs often earned $138-$152 with heavy pens up to $176. The top 100 prime lambs sold within a tight range of $222-$224 and the balance was evenly spread out from $152 to $216. Most of the ewes traded above $160 and included one pen of four that made it to $308 while a good portion returned $200-$282. Read more in your LivestockEye.
