Salegoers at Stortford Lodge last Monday were met with a chilly wet day.
A handful of cattle went under the auctioneer’s hammer, and two Angus-cross rigs, 545kg, returned $2.96/kg.
Focus quickly turned to the sheep section, where slightly lower throughput increased competition. Just over 610 ewes were penned and the top end improved, with good to heavy types up to $142-$164.50. The balance of ewes traded at steady levels, with light-medium at $112-$120, and light, $70-$107.50.
Lambs improved for most, with very heavy males up to $187.50-$211. However, heavy mixed sex and ewe lambs eased slightly to $147-$164.
