The quality of new season lambs showed freshness with primarily trade weights penned, along with a good supply of feeder and store lambs.
The mutton was represented by all weights and categories, with some exceptional heavy shorn Wethers being penned.
Not all processors operated due to inflated numbers across the state, with the countryside starting to dry out.
Overall the quality of the yarding is starting to reflect the promising season unfolding around the region.
