What lacked in numbers was made up for in size at the Lorenville sheep sale on Tuesday, as the small yarding featured some good weighted lambs and ewes.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

Store lambs sold on a steady market, and good lines made $95-$105, medium $80-$90, and light, $65-$75.

Plenty of weight in the prime pens and a steady market saw heavy lambs make $145-$155, medium $115-$125, and lighter, $100-$110. The ewe market was steady to firm, and heavy ewes finished at $120-$130, medium $90-$105, and light, $50-$65.

The very heavy steers were missing from the prime pens, with 390-440kg trading at $2.70-$2.82/kg, with the best of the heifers at $2.62/kg, and dairy’s firm at $2.20-$2.40/kg. Cows returned steady values, with 500kg plus lines making $1.80-$1.90/kg, and medium $1.60-$1.80/kg.

Store cattle numbers were limited, especially in the older cattle pens, where the highlight was Hereford-cross heifers, 415kg, at $2.65/kg. A bit more action in the R1 pens saw Hereford-cross steers, 265kg, return $1005, while lighter Murray Grey-cross, 206kg, made $795, $3.85/kg, and Friesian, 285kg, $810. Angus-cross heifers, 218kg, fetched $770.

In the feeder calf pens, good Friesian bulls sold for $130-$145, medium $80-$95, and small, $30. Hereford-cross returned $130-$165, and Angus, $200. Medium Angus heifers sold for $90-$130.
