It was another strong sale this week at the Central West Livestock Forbes with over 50,000 sheep yarded – 42,100 lambs and 8,600 mutton. Dorper lambs topped the market at $410 on Tuesday, just shy of the national record of $424 in Wagga last week, which was just days after the record of $400 was broken at Forbes. We are having some very strong sales, very strong markets – all at one of the best stock selling centres in Australia.
God Bless,
