Total Yarding: 7,550 - Sheep 2,888- Lambs 4,662
Today was an almost identical sale to last week with around 7500 in total and around the same breakup of lambs and sheep.

Small framed store condition lambs started at $4 up to $25 and with better frame sold to $55/head. Merino lambs eased $10/head with the better store condition wethers selling to $83/head. Airfreight lambs easing $10/15 selling from $29 to $65 while trade lambs returned $42 to $108 and heavy lambs sold up to $125/head.
Merino wethers ranged from $65 to $105 with a fleece while Merino wether hoggets sold to $105 again with a fleece and Merino ewe hoggets returned $50 to $90/head. Dorper hoggets sold to $110, Young rams realized $86 and mature rams ranging $10 to $40/head.
Boner ewes made $10 to $45, medium ewes selling up to $75 and heavy ewes sold to $90/head.
