Sheep Shortage Affects Wethers Prices Across Regions
Market analysts report a persistent shortage of young sheep, especially wethers, due to drought and slow recovery. Local demand outstrips supply with prices for young wethers mainly 60s to mid-60s per head and seasonal bets on water availability shaping future sales and farmer decisions. Northern district receipts show large wethers aged 4 to 6 years and various wool yields with prices from 28 to 60 shillings, while local sales list hundreds to thousands of wethers and ewes with mixed ages and wool values reflecting tight supply conditions.
