Eastern Lamb Market Faces Price Decline on Western Sheep Run
Heavy western sheep selling mainly to killers has driven prices down from 75c to $1.00 per hundred. Offerings are light and quality good, with dull trade for heavy sheep as receipts stay liberal. Wethers are scarce, while more western lambs may push prices down. yearling ewes and feeding stock show softer pricing amid improving demand for mutton.
