Matawhero sheep sale 14.09

This time of year is typically very quiet in the Matawhero sheep pens, and last Friday was no different with just 230 head in.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

Just one line of store lambs was offered though it was a decent size at 105 head, and being good mixed sex they sold for $138. An entry of four blackface ewes with four lambs-at-foot met keen interest and sold for $105 all counted, while a lesser line earned $80.   

A wide range of types in the prime lamb pens made the heavy lines stand out and freshly shorn ram lambs made market value at $248.50, and five mixed sex, $199. All other mixed sex sold for $156.50-$158, with ewe lambs trading at $136-$181. Mixed age ewes sold for $141-$142, and two-four tooth, $146.
