AuctionsPlus’ lamb and sheep prices were slightly lower this week, as overall offerings increased 12% on the previous week, to 90,112 head. While the overall market sentiment continues to be robust, the run of dry weeks and cooling nights is reportedly starting to create some fluctuations, especially across the wether categories, while restocking demand for top quality breeding lines remains extremely high.
