The largest week of commercial sheep and lamb sales since the first week of April, up 32% on the previous week, at 68,724 head, was met with mixed results, delivering no clear trend. While crossbred and first cross ewe lambs averaged higher at the close of the auctions, both main Merino categories were back, as composite/other breeds registered a 100% clearance rate.
