With just 57 cattle on offer the focus was very much on the sheep pens at Stortford Lodge last Wednesday. Store lamb volume approached 9000 head, with a larger variance of type in the pens. Short term, quality lambs held value, but lesser types eased or came back. Heavy cryptorchid and male lines held at $144.50-$166.50, with heavy ewe lambs up to $145-$159.50. Medium-good ewe lambs eased to $106-$125, and lighter types, $83-$103.

Breeding ewes sold on a softer market as three to five-year Romney, scanned 180%-181%, made $194-$197.

There was only a few highlights to the cattle sale, with eight R2 Hereford bulls, 512kg, making $1530, while similar weighted Hereford-beef fetched $1430, $2.69/kg.
