There were fewer lambs, although it was sheep that wore the biggest supply cut with just 600 yarded compared to 3800 the previous sale.
There was no extra heavy lambs over 30kg carcase weight available, with most of the yarding medium to heavy trades.
Quality ranged from good to just average.
Not all buyers attended or operated due to the limited offering.
Lamb prices were similar to a few dollars dearer than a fortnight ago, with the best gains evident across some of the plainer trade types.
The lead run of heavy crossbred lambs in the 26kg to 30kg carcase weight range sold from $225 to a top of $235, and the best heavy trades from $201 to $214/head.
Once under 23kg carcase weight, most sales of domestic processing lambs varied from $155 to $185.
The majority of the better presented lambs were estimated at 800c to 840c/kg carcase weight, with plainer pens still in the mid to high 700c price range.
Only a few light lambs were offered and some pens were passed-in amid subdued restocked activity.
Sheep numbers were limited and quality tended to be very mixed with a lot of smaller penlots on offer.
Prices improved modestly from the low levels of a fortnight ago.
The few heavy Merino and crossbred ewes presented made from $90 to $110.
The plainest sheep were down to $47.
