New season lamb’s numbers are flowing steadily at Balclutha, with good volume in the store pens last Wednesday. Ewe prices eased as space at the processors tightens up.

A good yarding of store lambs was well followed, though the dry conditions did limit bids. Top lambs sold for $88.50, medium $72-$80, and small, $45-$50.

The prime pens were busy and lambs continued to sell well but at a slightly lesser rate than the previous week. Heavy lambs eased $5 to $140-$145, while medium types held value at $130-$135.

A bigger third cut returned $110-$120, and hoggets sold for $125-$145. Ewe prices suffered the consequences of limited space and while values were still respectable the market notably eased. Heavy ewes traded at $135-$140, medium $120-$125, and light $70-$105. Rams returned $70-$115.
