The recent lift in fat trade saw our busiest Saturday to date and it was pleasing to welcome some new faces today trying our weekly Saturday morning fat sale. North Moss sold 3 cast rams all over 100. The better end ewes Smart lambs topped at 107 from John Eddleston (218ppk). Plenty of 42kg+ meated lambs over the 2pkg. Commercials in the ppk range. A premium was definitely apparent for farm assured lambs today. There was a mixed bag in the breeding sheep today. Taylor Bros topped the day with Beltex ewes at 195 and shearlings at 150. Older ewes were harder to place and anything broken mouthed would have been just as well sold first thing in the morning. Gimmer lambs followed. Decent sorts above store price. Second rate s as well sold in the stores. Plenty of demand for smarter stores in the bracket. Long term keep lambs harder work.
