The store lamb pens at Coalgate last Wednesday were the busiest they have been since 2014, as the dry conditions encouraged over 5000 head out. Despite the high volume, prices were steady to firm with heavy types at $100-$119 and medium lines $80-$98.
Store cattle met some resistance with R2 Hereford-Friesian heifers and mixed-sex priced from $1.72/kg to $1.98/kg. Most weaners were Hereford-Friesian and the top lines made $250-$300, while many off-types were forced to meet the market.
