It was another strong sale last week at Temuka and the large yarding of good quality store lambs sold well, and this market strengthened. Most lambs were mixed sex and good demand saw medium lambs gain $4, to sell for $105-$123. A good line up of prime lambs made a top price of $190-$194, although most earned $130-$160. Prime ewes strengthened, particularly at the top end lifting $22-$40 to $231-$248. A limited prime cattle offering held for most. Boner cows were mostly Friesian, 458-680kg, with the better types lifting slightly to $1.39-$1.49/kg.
