Feilding prime sale 16.07

An almost spring-like day at Feilding on Monday put another decent yarding of sheep in good light, while cattle once again took a back seat.

Lamb numbers lifted slightly, helped by big lines of males as well as a larger entry of ewe lambs, of which 90% were heavy types and sold exceptionally well at $150-$166. At these levels they matched the male lines of similar size. A large chunk of the male lines were however classed as very heavy and sold for $171-$203, though 15 rams took out the top spot at $215.  Most mixed sex earned $141-$168, though traded up to $200.

The ewe market wins the consistency award as another week of solid returns was ticked off. Throughput dipped to just over 1700 head, with most mixed age ewes medium-good to very good and ranging in price from $121 up to $153. Two-tooth's traded at $118-$149.50.

Cattle numbers were very low at 19 head, with 11 of those Angus cows, 454kg, which sold well at $2.22/kg.
