Lack of numbers continued to keep the ball firmly in the vendor’s court at Balclutha on Wednesday, with all classes once again strong, PGG Wrightson agent Alex Horn reported.

Store lambs sold up to $130-$156 for the best of the bunch, while medium types made $120-$130 and light, $110-$120. A line of crossbred, medium type mixed age ewes that were scanned-in-lamb 150% sold well at $212.

Both prime ewe and lamb numbers are trending down as both seasons wind down, but that simply meant more competition for less supply and firmed the market. Heavy prime lambs sold for $170-$190, medium $150-$170, and lighter, $130-$150. Ewes cracked $200 as heavy lines sold to $190-$201, while medium types were firm at $130-$180 and light, $100-$130. Rams fetched $60-$90.
