Prices remained at a consistent strong level at the Mount Pleasant sheep and cattle sale on Thursday, with regular buyers prominent in the sale.
Thomas Foods International, Midfield and Australian Lamb Company snatched-up many of the early lambs on offer, with other buyers engaging in bidding as the sale progessed.
Nutrien Livestock agent David Schultz said the prices remained level with the previous Mount Pleasant sale.
"The top end of the lambs was really good," he said.
