Store lamb numbers jumped up to just over 8000 head this week, the largest yarding this season.

Good prices continued to encourage lambs to sale, with most of the yarding off the large high-country stations. The edge did come off the market slightly but the lambs were in very good order, with not many lighter lambs offered.

Most fetched $75-$85, though heavy male lambs reached $91.50-$94.50.

Prime sheep numbers were marginally better than last week’s small offering. A handful of prime lambs made $75-$100. A small number of mixed-age ewes managed $78-$82, males $71-$80.
