Hamilton Agents yarded 9,000 head this week comprising 2,500 lambs which was an additional 1,500 on last week's offering and 6,500 sheep an increase of 1100 head week-on-week. There was only a small offering of lambs of which 1500 were new season lambs indicating that the sucker lamb sell off is now underway in the Hamilton region. The offering consisted mainly of light to medium-weight lambs. Most regular buyers were present with lambs generally selling firm to dearer driven by quality.

New season lambs sold to the trade at an average range of 1150c/kg to 1280c/kg cwt with very few returning to the paddock. New season lambs topped at $325/head while shorn lambs reached $388/head. New season lambs weighing 12kg to 18kg sold from $183 to $230/head while lambs weighing 18kg to 26kg made from $230 to $325/head.

It was a very good offering of sheep across all weights and grades although there were fewer heavy weight sheep available. Heavy sheep were $20 to $30 cheaper while medium and light weight sheep were $20 to $30/head stronger. Mutton averaged between 800c/kg and 1000c/kg. Crossbred ewes sold to $300 with Merino ewes to $237 and Merino wethers to $284/head. Terminal rams to $192 and Merino rams with skin to $226/head.
