Forbes Sheep Sale

Forbes Sheep Sale

Conducted 04/08/2015

Yarded 36936 including 30441 lambs. There were 9000 new season lambs included in the offering. Increased numbers at Forbes following a very large offering at Dubbo yesterday put a stop to any further price rises. However prime new lambs and better quality “old” lambs held firm compared to last week’s dearer market. The trade weights were a little easier for best quality lots but fell by $4 to $6 on plainer grades including merinos:

Heavy new season lambs (23 kilos+)
$150.00 to $165.00

Trade weight new season lambs (20 to 22Kgs)
$118.00 to $157.00

Extra Heavy Lambs
$169.00 to $210.00

Lambs 23-26kgs
$146.00 to $168.00

Trade weight Lambs
$115.00 to $153.00

Store Lambs
$82.00 to $115.00

Heavy merino lambs
$00. To $150.00
Trade weight Merino Lambs
$97.00 to $141.00

Hoggets
$88.00 to $135.00

There were 6495 grown sheep yarded and prices eased $4 to $6 for the medium and heavy grades. However light sheep sold a little dearer compared to last Tuesday’s sale:

Merino Wethers
$84.00 to $136.00

Merino Ewes
$77.00 to $129.00

XB Ewes
$87.00 to $136.00

Light Sheep
$54.00 to $78.00

Merino Rams
$66.00 to $96.00
