Lamb numbers lifted slightly and quality was mixed. There were pens of very good trade and heavy lambs, shorn and unshorn, that were supplementary fed, but there was an increase in lambs that were lacking finish. Light store lambs were also back in numbers. Extra heavy lambs remain limited. The market trend was firm on the plainer lambs and lifted $2 to $4/head on the trade and heavy weights.
