Sheep and Goat Weighted Average for Monday, September 21, 2015
Sheep/Lamb Receipts: **** Last Monday: 3839 Year Ago: 3400
Goat Receipts: 3549 Last Monday: 4136 Year Ago: 3127
***Report format change: Traditional markets refer to lambs that
are subjected to USDA carcass grading, and marketed through
mainstream outlets. Non-Traditional markets refer to lambs destined
for slaughter outside of what would be termed as traditional markets. ***
Slaughter Sheep:
*** Sheep sale delayed until September 22 @ 9:00 am ***
Slaughter Goats: Compared to last week, another very heavy supply of
slaughter goats were on offer. Slaughter kids traded unevenly steady
on poorer quality offerings. Demand was good but had trouble keeping up
with supply. Nannies traded mostly steady to 40.00 lower. There was a
very heavy supply of nannies weighing over 130 lbs and, in turn, these
nannies saw the biggest price hits from previous weeks. Bucks sold
steady to firm on a light test. Wethers sold steady to weak on a light
test and, much like the nannies, heavier wethers were not bringing the
same premiums as in weeks past. Demand was good for the Islamic holiday
of "Eidul-Adha", however, a heavy supply was a detriment to prices.
Supply consisted of 52 percent Slaughter Kids, 38 percent Slaughter
Nannies, and 10 percent bucks/billies and wethers. All goats are sold by
the head on estimated weights.
