Jamestown Market - February 22, 2024 - Stock Journal

00:00 It's Chiara from Stock Journal. We're here at the Jamestown sheep market.

00:03 Let's find out how people think the sheep market is.

00:06 Jack Coleman from Elders Port Augusta here at the Jamestown sale for the 22nd of February 2024.

00:12 We've got about 11,000 sheep on offer today, mainly weather lambs.

00:16 The sheep market in general has softened over the past four weeks,

00:20 which is probably due to more mother nature than anything.

00:23 I think the outlook is still very positive into the winter,

00:26 but just for the short term we may just see a bit of a downturn.

00:29 But I think a bit of positivity through the job and it's not far around the corner.

00:34 Hello, I'm Brian Manuel from Nutri and Clare here at Jamestown today to try and buy some

00:40 lambs for the feedlot. The current trend at the moment is typical for the summer.

00:45 Lambs are starting to dry out, feed is starting to disappear.

00:48 The actual lamb market is holding up pretty well considering what it was pre-Christmas.

00:54 But overall it'll be an interesting day today.

00:58 It's Curly Golding from Nutri in Oxton up here at Jamestown today in 39 degree heat,

01:03 trying to find a bit of shade.

01:06 The industry at this present time is at an interesting stage.

01:10 There's some numbers starting to come around, which is forcing a lower price over the hooks.

01:17 But listen, I think that's going to be short-lived.

01:19 It's been in turmoil up and down all over the shop for the last probably four to five months.

01:25 It'll probably continue that for the next month, but I see some sort of

01:29 price rising activity after ANZAC Day probably.

01:33 And I think we'll have more of a direction of where we're going then.

01:35 Shannon Jeske, Nutri in Jamestown here in South Australia.

01:38 I think in the whole, obviously with that summer rain, certainly responded to the job

01:42 and positivity is a lot higher than it was back last year.

01:45 So numbers coming from the west is certainly having an impact in the eastern states and locally.

01:50 But yeah, I think going forward, I think we're in a positive scenario.

01:54 An early season break will certainly kick the job along breeding-wise,

01:58 but I think the land drop's certainly got some upsides to it once things do change

02:02 over the winter.

02:03 And quality is going to be a factor the whole way through, I think.

02:06 So there's certainly some positivity in the job,

02:07 but on the back of rain will certainly change the market, I'd say.
