Just over 2400 lambs ventured forward at Stortford Lodge on Wednesday, with half the yarding one consignment of Romney wether and ewe lambs. The top wethers made $121, and a big line of good types, $117.50. Light ewe lambs traded at $96-$104. Blackface ram lambs returned $124.50-$128, though were bettered by very heavy mixed sex blackface which made $128.50-$163.50.
There were very few ‘like’ pens in the 600 head cattle yarding, which meant an array of prices. Ex-service bulls featured, and Jersey, 493-566kg, made $2.55-$2.64/kg, while traditional, 608-633kg, returned $2.88-$2.89/kg. Friesian cows, 462-572kg, returned $2.01-$2.03/kg.
A feature line of yearling Limousin steers, 392kg, made $3.76/kg, and their sisters, 349kg, $3.31/kg. Angus bulls, 427-515kg, fetched $1380-$1505.
Two small pens of weaner Angus steers, 233-293kg, made $970-$1250.
