Quality lambs continue to sell strongly at Stortford Lodge. Photo / File

Quality lambs continue to sell strongly at Stortford Lodge. Photo / File

The strong tone of the past few weeks continued in the store lamb sale at Stortford Lodge yesterday.

There were about 7000 lambs on offer to buyers from Hawke's Bay with at least one Waikato buyer.

The best lambs were on a par with or better than last week but the tone eased at the sale progressed.

A feature of the sale was the 1000 lambs from Lochinver Station on the Napier –Taupo road and 1200 from Tangihau Station, Rere.

In the cattle rostrum a yarding of about 1000 head sold steadily with traditional breed R2 steers making the best money. Some pens were passed in.
