Griffith Saleyards was propelled into the spotlight, as a new national record for heavy lambs was set on Friday, 13 June.
Prices hit $431 per head for a pen of 33 Poll Dorset-Merino cross lambs.
Griffith Mayor and Chair of the newly formed Saleyards Committee, Councillor Doug Curran, said the result was a testament to the quality of stock in the region.
“This is a remarkable outcome for our producers and a proud moment for the Griffith Saleyards. It just goes to show what a great asset we have in the Saleyards. It’s a key hub for selling in this region,” he stated.
“Of the 12,800 lambs yarded on the day, more than 200 exceeded $400 per head, which is a fantastic result.”
