The better 5 & 6-year ewes were well supported too. One outstanding line of 5-year Romney’s were picked up at $180, with the range being $140-$180 for all ewes in this age bracket. Top 6-year ewes made $130-$139.
Mutton schedules supported the remainder of the sale, where medium lines were $110-$130 and lighter types $85-$100.
