Agents and vendors combined to have similar numbers for the weekly livestock sales in Warwick this week. The markets were back in line with sales from across the border, but there were some fresher, better types bringing a better result. The fresh livestock as long as they have finish for the weight are the market movers. This was more applicable to the sheep and lamb sale.
Cattle sale numbers reached 1043 head to see a market that was back for the unfinished articles and up slightly for the better feed on types. Sheep and lamb markets saw the same follow on patterns with 1609 head.
