We have just got back from the sale and as the title infers with mixed results. They had a record number of lambs in last week 21000 and everyone thought there can't be to many more and sent lambs in this week as as a result just under 25000 lambs this week with a weak demand from the buyers. we got $85.00 for the lambs we were hoping for 95-100 the market was 10-$12 cheaper. As for the older ewes we were hoping for $50.00 and the best of them made $54 we didn't see them all sold so not sure what the average will be. Over all our timing has not been the best this year with the selling of stock but overall the prices are still quite good compared to a few years ago photo of the lambs and one of the pen of ewes. Still have more to sell so hopefully prices will pick up.

Oh well you win some you loose some.At least you have some more to sell later. Hope you get to have a quiet/ restfull day tomorrow. Any more plans on heading up north? Love Kerryn
Just been talking to Kaye it looks as if the trip to Arkaroona is a goer. Darryl and Leanora have offered their Parada 4 wheel drive which is really great. Will kep you informed as things unfold.
