Timely rain brought a bit more life to the store lamb pens at Matawhero on Friday, and the local bench met a smaller line up of bright, healthy lambs.

Prices overall were steady, though the sale had pockets of strength while other lines sold below recent levels. Good male lambs sold on a softer market at $93-$100.50, but medium lines strengthened to $73-$85. Good sized lines of mixed sex made $86-$92.50, while good ewe lambs returned $88-$94, and lighter lines $50-$56.

The store section did start with two lines of woolly ewe hoggets and these sold surprisingly well at $133-$144.

A small offering of prime lambs made solid returns at $101-$122.50, with ewe hoggets earning $107-$108.

Ewes continue to sell to keen interest though quality was down. Store types traded at $69-98, with two better lines to $110-$119.50.
