Numbers were consistent across the main livestock sales this week with approx 1200 cattle yarded and 1888 head of Sheep & Lambs meeting the market. The sales followed similar patterns with the younger fresher types selling very well and the finished heavier Export and Trade types as long as the weight and finish matched were firm to a shade dearer. The lightweight and unfinished types were back slightly. Pork and Poultry numbers still continue to flow, with the Pork job just a touch better.
