Wednesday July 22nd – Sheep Prices Report

 

 

 

There was another big entry of sheep this week. Once again this week there was large entry of store lambs on offer with average prices a shade better than the previous week. The trade for the heavier type lamb was steady with no significant change in price. With continuing good grass growth farmers are very active for store lambs which is helping to keep a floor under the prices. The trade for Cast Ewes was similar to last week. Weekly sales for Sheep continue on Wednesdays @ 11 a.m.  Please note commencing Wednesday July 29th Ewe lambs will be sold separately to Wether/Ram lambs. Draw for Starting pens. Commencing Wednesday August 5th the draw for the starting pen will be held at 10.45 a.m. A second draw will take place to determine whether the draw will go up or down.
