In yet another strong prime sheep and lamb market at the Dubbo saleyards today, agents have set a
new selling centre record.
A pen of 83 heavy weight crossbred lambs sold for $349 a head, sold by the team at Peter Milling
and Company on behalf of Merriwa vendors, Ray and Annie Inder.
Mr Inder said he was pleasantly surprised at the price.
“We have been feeding them,” he said. The second cut of Mr Inder’s draft, a pen of 29 head, sold for
$301.
This sale trumps the previous record of $344/hd set in September last year, which was also the
national lamb price record until recently.
It was a strong sale overall at Dubbo today, where a pen of heavy trade weight new season sucker
lambs made $250/hd.
The top crossbred ewes sold to $220/hd while a pen of heavy, full fleeced Dohne ewes made
$240.20/hd.
