As expected the market made an adjustment with prices easing $8-$12 across all types. The top ewes made $134-$165, though most were medium to good and earned $113-$133. A larger portion dropped below $100, as lighter ewes traded at $83-$99.

Lamb numbers climbed to 400 head and the market held its own. Lambs 40kg plus traded at $140-$163, while those under returned $122-$138.

Though space is tightening up for cattle demand in the rostrum was still strong, with the focus on a sizable entry of Hereford-Jersey heifers. The better types, 508-550kg, fetched $2.86-$2.93/kg, while a very heavy Devon, 830kg, sold to $2291.

Angus cows were also a highlight and at 461-567kg sold for $2.25-$2.34/kg, with Friesian-Jersey, 546kg, also strong at $2.28/kg.
