There was the largest yarding in nearly a year offered at Matawhero.

No sale the week before was part of the reason for this, while recent weather conditions also gave some sellers enough incentive to offload. There wasn’t quite enough buying power to hold prices, which tended to ease around $2 per head on the last sale.

The heavier half of the male lambs were largely bought at $105.50-$110, though one line did make $113. Much of the rest went for $93-$101, with only a handful of pens below $90. Ewe lambs weren’t too far off their brothers. The upper-end were regularly making $99-$105.50, while lighter types were $90.50-$95.50. Some medium mixed sex types made $94-$98, and light lines $86.50-$89.

A line of good run-with-ram Romney ewes made $89.

Prime lambs sold for $67-$89.
