A smaller yarding of sheep was well contested at Lorneville last Tuesday, with medium to heavy prime hoggets steady at $168-$180. Light to medium ewes improved to $142-$201. Light to medium store lambs managed $95-$118.
Prime heifers, 485kg+, earned $3.10/kg, with bulls, 505kg, at $3.00/kg. Cows, 550kg+, improved to $2.30-$2.50/kg.
Two-year Friesian steers, 452kg, returned $2.98/kg, though the store yarding was mainly yearlings of mixed quality and results reflected this. Angus-Friesian steers, 415kg, were well contested at $3.30/kg, while their sisters, 363kg, managed $3.03/kg. Hereford-cross steers, 270-330kg, softened to $3.12-$3.18/kg.
