Store and prime lamb numbers dropped to the lowest level since November at Canterbury Park last Tuesday. Heavy prime lambs returned $169-$191, with most of the rest at $134-$161. A few ewes earned $198-$200, and a good portion traded for $144-$187 while medium to good types provided most of the balance at $86-$140.
Well-finished prime cattle attracted good prices and high yielding beef and beef-cross heifers usually made $2.45-$2.55/kg. Cows were few and far between and were selectively purchased in the range of $1.43/kg to $2.08/kg dependant on type. Very few store cattle were penned. Read more in your LivestockEye.
