The Wagga market was volatile, with significant rate fluctuations. Buyers faced a mixed offering of lambs, many unfinished or with longer wool. All buyers made it to the sale however major domestic processor competition was minimal. Restockers were few with the dry conditions in the back of everyone’s minds. Feedlot buyers focused on well-bred shorter skin lambs in trade weight classes.

Competition for trade lambs was inconsistent, leading to some significant price drops, however short skinned well shaped lambs equalled last week’s rates and in isolated sales sold to dearer tends. Lambs weighing 20 to 24kg traded from $90 to $154, averaging 607c/kg cwt. Store lambs declined by $12, and light lambs for processors decreased by $10 to $13, with more substantial drops in isolated sales. Hoggets came under pressure, struggling for competition, prices ranged from $51 to $118.

Heavy lambs saw increased interest, with 26 to 30kg holding firm at $155 to $203, while those over 30kg rose by $6, fetching $190 to $241. Big grain fed Merino lambs sold from $165 to $204/head.

In the mutton sale, additional buyers were present, all eager for a market share. Heavy ewes fetched up to $12 dearer, averaging 272c/kg cwt. Trade sheep drew a larger group of buyers, trading between $44 to $69, averaging 232c/kg cwt.
