Mt Pleasant lambs to $115

With the summer break fast approaching and feed drying off, agents were pleased to see there were still numbers about and stock of reasonable quality.

The best lambs made $115, with two other pens making $114.

Talk among the crowd was that the same lambs would have made about $150-$160 at Dublin on Monday.

Hoggets attracted good demand, with the tops making to $88 and several lots at $80 and $84.

In a mixed yarding of ewes, a pen of 4.5-year-olds made $66 to a restocker.

Cattle presented largely in good condition, with cows selling to $740, twice.

Two older Poll Hereford heifers made $700, and steers made to $800 for two black steers to Meatbarn.

Another pen of two Murray Grey steers made $770, also to Meatbarn.
