Most other lines ranged from $1550-$1585.

The lion's share of the sheep yarding came from two stations, which entered both ewes and lambs. Good mixed sex lambs made $122-$128, and medium, $90-$106. Lighter lines came in at $63-$86.50.

Demand was solid for ewes and heavy types made $155-$179, with medium earning $120-$135. Lighter ewes made up almost half the offering and sold for $90-$107.
