Lamb supply eased slightly to 26,600 penned, a large portion of the yarding were shorn lamb mostly presenting in good to excellent condition, lambs in wool were very mixed and this reflexed in bidding competition and price.

Heavy export sold to a top of $286 to be $6 to $12/head back on last week’s levels. Store buyers were active on the light shorn and lambs in wool, holding firm on last week with lambs under 18kg selling from $26 to $135 and over 18kg made from $138 to $180/head.

Lambs to the trade to suit MK orders under 18kg sold from $94 to $138/head. Trade lambs 18 to 22kg made from $140 to $182, 22 to 24kg sold from $174 to $208/head.
