The market consisted of 800 new season lambs, 700 old lambs, and 1451 mutton. With the dry times continuing there was an increase of mutton sheep, and as per usual each agent had four to five lead pen of lambs
With all regular buyers present and a few extra processors from the south who operated spasmodically, they operated in a market that was fully firm to slightly dearer than the previous sale.
Once again there was limited re stocker interest.
