Assessor Comments
Kurra Wirra Pastoral Company have on offer 1070 July/August 2023 drop feeder lambs split over two even runs of 535. These lambs have all been individually weighed at 40kg and above averaging 45 kg empty. Historically these lambs would be targeted for the winter markets with lambs having hit export weights consistently but due to tightening season vendor has decided to sell lambs earlier. These lambs are forward in condition and have a lot of frame so potential purchaser will have no worries in these lambs achieving an export weight focusing on the extremely positive Winter lamb market forecast. Lambs are being trail fed a mix of lupins, wheat and silage and will continue to perform on a similar diet!
