BOER goats made up the bulk of the yarding at last Tuesday's Dubbo goat sale where 1100 head were yarded.
Much needed rain across the state meant many vendors were focusing their efforts into their regular farming operations resulting in lower numbers of Australian Bush Goats (ABG).
Auctioneer Joe Portelli, PT Lord, Dakin and Associates, Dubbo, said most categories sold to a dearer trend.
"Light goats to restockers were $20 to $25 cheaper while light kill goats were $10 to $15 dearer," Mr Portelli said.
"Heavy goats were $4 to $5 dearer and females to the restockers were about $5 dearer a head."
The best of the Boer bucks sold to $250 a head, to average $130/hd.
Does topped at $215/hd, averaging $110/hd while kids sold from $20 to a top of $72, averaging $50/hd.
The best of the ABG goats sold to $162 for billies and $174/hd for nannies.
