Store lamb and cattle prices were on par with last week for a mixed-quality offering at Stortford Lodge yesterday.

There were a number of longer-term lambs in the offering of about 2200 head and one pen of them went for $28.

Others made from $31 to $50.

The cattle offering of about 500 head also sold on the same slightly subdued note as last week.

Buyers were from Hawke’s Bay with support from Waikato.
