Narromine Sheep Sales
The sale yarded 8000 sheep, 470 down on the March sale.
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) reported mostly ewes, first-cross and merinos, were offered and the quality was good and presented in strong store to well-finished condition.
The MLA also reported demand was weaker than the previous sale with the autumn joining period coming to an end.
The prices were substantially cheaper than the previous sale, down $20 to $30 a head on most lots.
About 1000 head failed to reach vendor reserves and were passed in. The highest price of $168 was paid for 229 head of one and two-year-old large NSM ewes which had been shorn during the summer.
