The sale started off with the 2-tooths and while the first line sold exceptionally well at $188, fierce bidding from two corners pushed the second line up to $222. The competition settled after that initial burst, and most other lines traded at $150-$171, while 4-tooths returned $100-$160.
The 5-year and mixed age markets were variable, and while prices were up on recent years they perhaps were not as high as anticipated. The very good quality lines were chased with the best 5-year ewes selling to $130-$140, and a large portion of the mixed age also managed $130-$148. Lesser lines looked to be good shopping as most other lines were picked up for $100-$120.
