5572 head last Monday provided the largest yarding of prime lambs at FEILDING so far this year, and a good buying bench were in place.
Demand for prime lambs remained high. Very-heavy males sold for $203, with the balance of these types at $182-$197. Mixed-sex of similar type made $192.50-$214, though most traded at $184-$187 and $150-$178.
Prime ewe quality was still biased towards the smaller lines. Very-good lines sold for $160-$180,
with good types firm at $144-$159. Medium-good mostly sold for $127-$139.
Boner cows continue to provide good returns as 475-525kg lines rose 8c to $2.38/kg, with in-calf at $2.40-$2.44/kg.
