1 AuctionsPlus Market Comments: Week Ending 16 th May 2014 By: Anna Adams Cattle numbers were up around 500 this week to 8,804 head offered. With cattle continuing to flood all marketplaces, there were fewer sales to report in today s eastern states auctions, again demonstrating the challenge in setting a realistic reserve in a falling market. Conversely, the sheep market is holding well, considering this was our biggest weekly offering of sheep and lambs since mid-march of 65,141 head. Even with some offloading of older or mixed age lines of sheep out of drier areas, there are still enough growers around who enjoyed an autumn break and with feed coming into winter for these lines to attract good prices. Scanned in lamb ewes to drop a crossbred lamb were the standout this week, in particular old Merino ewes which sold from $85 (the only price under $100), to a top of $130 for 2008 drop ewes out of Cootamundra in lamb to Poll Dorset and White Suffolk. Young joined Merino ewes sold from $146 to $165.50, with the top price being for rising two year old Petali blood ewes joined to Merino rams with a big wool return on their backs. Young first cross ewes scanned in lamb sold from $120 to a top of $185 for three year olds at Grenfell in lamb to Suffolk. Merino wether prices are gradually correcting after the highs seen since early April. This week lambs topped at $92 for April shorn, 42kg Mumblebone blood lambs out of Nyngan, with prices ranging from $50 to average $66. Hoggets sold from $44 to $70, and older wethers selling to restockers made $58.50 to $76. Suitable sheep out of QLD still appear an attractive option for southern processors, with light weight mutton making 231c-275c, and heavier wethers sold for 412c-417c including skin value. Weaner cattle experienced the highest pass in rates today. Light steers under 250kg made 188c to 213c to average 200c, down 7c on last week. 250kg-300kg steers sold from 179c to 218c to average 202c, back 10c, and heifers made 166c-188c to average 176c. 300kg-350kg steers dropped another 5c this week to average 192c. The top weaner steer price for the week was $630 for 289kg Charolais cross and Angus cross steers out of Barraba. Yearling steers made to $610 for 350kg Herefords at Broken Hill. PTIC female prices also softened, though clearance was slightly better than weaners. PTIC yearling heifers made $650 to $820, and lines of young cows sold from $730 to a top of $870 for four and five year old Black Baldy cows in calf to Angus. Mixed age lines made $580 to $630. Cows with calves at foot topped at $1140 for two and three year old Kenny s Creek blood Angus cows with Angus calves at foot. Out of QLD, older cow/calf units made $405 to $660.
