Sheep and Lamb Quarterly Power Rankings

AuctionsPlus sheep and lamb listings for the second quarter (April-June) of 2022 reached a total of 795,634 head - a 37% decline from the first quarter of the year and a 7.4% decline from the corresponding quarter in 2021. A key driver behind the reduced number of sheep and lambs transacted through the platform can be attributed to “disrupted seasonality” of the market. While lambs accounted for 55% of the catalogue across the quarter, a large proportion of lambs were close to ageing out or had already been joined to respective sires.
