Stortford Lodge prime sheep sale 22.01

Low volumes and a change of sale day for Feilding Prime meant a bit more power on the buying bench at Stortford Lodge on Monday, and both the lamb and ewe market benefited. Little pressure to offload prime cattle meant the pens were empty once again.

A small ewe yarding regained ground lost to finish at levels similar to a fortnight ago. Price tags of $120 plus was more regular, helped also by an improvement in quality. The lesser end also made good value as the demand held up right through. Bottom dollar range was $78-$84, with medium to medium-good achieving $100-$116.50.

In stark contrast to last year and traditional patterns, the lamb market is very much a seller’s paradise. Processors are actively sourcing lambs, which is heightening competition for the few available at prime sales. Mixed sex sold down to $109 though were in the minority, with most lines making $127-$150.
