Forbes Sheep Sale
Tuesday 23/07/2024
Forbes agents penned the largest number of sheep and lambs since 24th July,2017 with 49538 including 38139 lambs of mostly good quality including 9000 merinos. (The record highest number in our CWLX complex was 51634 on 24th September,2013.) A full field of NSW and Victorian processors attended, and the market as expected was cheaper. However, the very best quality prime XB lambs were only $5 to $8 back and merino lambs and light plainer quality lamb prices fell by $8 to $12. Trade weight lambs averaged 730/880c, heavier lambs averaged 820c and merino lambs 720/780c. There were 11339 sheep penned and prices were $15 to $20 cheaper compared to last week’s dearer sale. Sheep averaged between 380c to 450c with sheep over 24 kilos D/W recording the higher rate.
