Numbers increased significantly. Quality remains mixed with increased supplies of lighter weight non-descript lambs. Prices for all categories sold cheaper, with buyers selective looking for shorter skinned lambs with shape. A bigger group of export companies attended with a major exporter company back after winter maintenance.

The level of demand was weak in the trade sale, with not all operating to capacity. Lambs 21 to 24kg tracked $10 cheaper to average 790c to 800c/kg cwt the bulk selling from $172 to $208/head. Lambs 24 to 26kg met weak demand quality being a factor averaging 781c/kg cwt. Light lambs to the processors were up to $50 cheaper with light weight drafts selling from $60 to $100/head.

Extra heavy lambs over 30kg carcass weight were in reasonable supply with most estimated to weight between 31 to 35kg cwt. Extra heavy lamb weighing 43kg cwt recorded a top price of $286/head the bulk averaging 690c/kg cwt. Lambs 26 to 30kg were in reasonable number, fat cover varied and so did the degree of competition, prices eased $9 selling from $210 to $235/head.

It was a very mixed quality yarding of mutton that was offered to a smaller group of buyers despite a major processor returning after winter maintenance. Demand was subdued and prices across the yarding averaged 467c to 545c/kg cwt
