The Rollesby Valley on-farm sales in South Canterbury is always a highlight on the sales calendar, featuring 12 properties and around 22,000 lambs. Last Thursday though the dry conditions had a big impact on prices as the grass market has dissipated, and vendors had to meet the market at reduced levels, PGG Wrightson agent Jonty Hyslop reported.
Halfbred lambs were the highlight, with most trading at $86-$124, while crossbred lambs proved to be harder work, and most properties averaged just over $90. The lightest pen of the day sold for $65.
