Commercial sheep and lamb listings on AuctionsPlus were consistent week-on-week, with 88,716 head. Overall clearance rate kicked this week, up 15 percentage points, while value over reserve was flat and average prices were generally mixed. This suggests vendors may have adjusted their expectations in response to the end of three consecutive La Nina’s and the ‘watch’ status for an El Nino and set reserves lower to meet the market.
