A smaller yarding and good quality meant store lamb prices rose $10 or more at Stortford Lodge yesterday.

The yarding of about 5000 head was well down on the last few weeks when the offering reached 15,000 head.

There were only two pens of in-lamb ewes on offer. A pen of classy two-tooth Romney ewes scanned at 174 per cent made $242.

The other pen, of mixed-age Romney ewes from Tangoio, made $127.

Agents said plentiful rain and some grass growth had restored some confidence to the market.

Buyers were from Hawke's Bay with only one or two outside buyers active.

In the cattle rostrum good cattle sold well. Two pens of R2 Friesian bulls made $1290 and $1328/head.
