The weighted indicator for the main trading currencies was up 0.97 percent and 1.3 percent against the US dollar.

Fine Crossbred Fleece and Shears ranged from firm to 2 percent easier.

First Lambs varied between centres with the North Island finer types up to 2.5 percent cheaper and coarser types up to 1 percent dearer. While, South Island Lambs were firm to 2 percent cheaper. Oddments were generally firm overall.

Next sale on 20th February comprises approximately 7,700 bales from the North Island and 6,600 from the South Island.
