Sheep throughput more than doubled at Stortford Lodge last Monday, and buyers were competitive with quality well rewarded.

Very heavy cryptorchid lambs improved to $181-$199, though heavy rams eased to $150-$152.  Heavy mixed sex held at $146.50-$169, as did heavy and very heavy ewe lambs at $142-$189.

Ewe numbers also doubled. Top end ewes lifted to $188-$213.50, while good types held at $126-$132.  Light-medium and medium ewes improved to $109.50-$130.50, while light ewes mainly traded at $60-$108.

Eighty prime cattle went under the hammer, with the majority steers. Twelve very good Angus heifers, 550kg, were well received at $2.88/kg.
