AuctionsPlus commercial sheep and lamb listings slipped lower this week, driven mainly by a 50% drop in lamb listings to 8,684 head. The smaller yarding failed to ignite competition in the market which fell in line with offerings, as clearance reached a subdued 36% and value over reserve remained firm on last week at $15. Given the low offering, many categories didn’t produce a change on last week due to the small sample sizes, but for those categories that did, majority were back on last week apart from SIL first cross ewes and Merino wether lambs.
