Prime sale
A big yarding of more than 2000 lambs continued to sell on a strong market at Monday's sale.
Most of the lambs were top quality which was reflected in the number of pens breaking the $200 mark.
Three pens of ewes in a small yarding also broke the $200 mark as prices help up as well.
In the cattle sale the yarding of 51 head was strong as well with six pens of oxen or heifers making $3.04/kg or better.
