Lamb consignments at Wagga fell 7% week-on-week, to 25,000 head, with new season lambs making up the majority of the yarding. There were a reasonable number of new season trade weight lambs on offer, while heavy and extra heavy weight lambs were in shorter supply. Increased numbers of well-bred store lambs were penned, and attracted keen restocker interest. The usual buyers were in attendance, although not all of the major domestic buyers operated.
Sheep throughput was steady week-on-week, at 10,000 head. Light weight sheep were in demand, while heavy crossbred ewes were well-supplied and sold to a dearer trend.
