A much smaller yarding than previous years saw the 2th and MA ewes combined into one sale, where it would typically be held over two days.
The buying bench was a combination of locals and buyers from Manawatu and Central Hawkes Bay. The top of the two-tooth ewes sold for $198, but the market settled quickly after that into a tight bracket, with most trading between $170-$180. Four-tooth ewes traded made $126-$166.
In the mixed age section the majority sold in the range $130-$163. The top price for 5 year ewes was $162 and good-to-mediums trading at $121-$145.
