Yarding - 41,800
Lambs - 36,300
Sheep - 5500
At Ballarat agents yarded 36,300 lambs and 5,500 sheep. The quality was from very plain to good with a lot of lambs showing dryness in the wool, these lambs only suitable for the paddock. The yarding also lacked its normal weight. There was a full field of buyers however not all were fully active, some due to works shut down due to Covid-19. Restocking competition was still in force on the light weight lambs in a market that was $10 to $20/head softer and more in places, more so lambs back to the paddock.
New seasons light weights, 12kg to 16kg lambs, made from $90 to $155/head. Trade lambs 18kg to 22kg made from $148 to $188/head, averaging around 750c to 850c/kg cwt. Medium trade lambs 22kg to 26kgs made from $168 to $225/head, averaging around 750c to 830/kg cwt. Heavy lambs over 26kgs made to $237/head.
The sheep offering was mixed and not of the quality. All weights and grades were available and again it was softer by $10 to $20/head. Heavy crossbred ewes made to $224 with the well covered Merino ewes making between $133 and $190/head. Wethers to $228, the average run of Merino mutton made between 550c and 600c with very good wethers to 680c to 700cg/cwt. Rams, terminal sires, to $85, Merinos to $150/head.
