The season got off to a solid start with buying orders for good lambs from Manawatu, while Dannevirke and local buyers were active on the rest, PGG Wrightson agent Steve Wilkinson reported.
The top lambs were restricted to around four to five pens and sold for $110-$113. Medium types proved to be harder to shift and $70-$80 was the money for these types, though the market regained its ground on a large entry of lighter lambs which made consistent values of $60-$65.
