Lamb numbers lifted slightly after last week’s strong market. The quality ranged from plain to excellent, more lambs are presenting off feed in excellent condition. All the usual buying group attended, there was more competition from store buyers putting pressure on the processors and most outbidding on lambs to go on to feed or back to the paddock. Once the market hit the trade weights bidding was subdued as buyers didn’t have last weeks intensity. Store lambs sold $4/head either side of firm. Light trade sold to $15/head cheaper. Medium and heavy trade sold from $15 to $25/head softer. Heavy export lambs had the biggest hit with lambs topping $268 and were $25 to $35/head cheaper.
Store buyers were more active in the market paying $41 to $145 for lambs to go back to the paddock and lambs to feed on made from $135 to $164/head. Light trade lambs under 18kg to suit MK orders sold from $76 to $138/head, with a range of 580c to 720c/kg cwt. Young lambs in wool 18 to 24kg sold from $130 to $182/head, with an average of 700c to 740c/kg cwt.
Shorn lambs to the trade 18 to 24kg made from $134 to $199/head, lambs 24 to 26kg sold $190 to $218/head to have an average range of 700c to 780c/kg cwt.
