Assessor Comments
Offering 456 SIL Merino ewes. The ewes averaged 54.3kg live at assessment and were shorn in late January. The ewes are mixed age and were all station mated to White Suffolk rams and were scanned in lamb on the 19/01/26. These ewes would suit a trader to take advantage of the lamb market this year as they are due to start lambing late March. Please note a few ewes showing light ewe horn and some with scale on the ears. Also note vendor is willing to load what would fit on a neat 4 deck unit, if that is what the purchaser would like.
