RESTOCKER activity was strong at last week's quarterly goat sale at Dubbo, where 1100 goats were yarded.
The market was quoted as $5 to $10 dearer across all categories compared to the previous sale in February.
Auctioneer Joe Portelli, PT Lord Dakin and Associates, Dubbo said the market for lighter goats was $5 dearer while heavy goats was $10 to $15 dearer.
"Processor activity was firm but the restockers were very competitive," he said.
"They made between $8 and $10 a kilogram (at the sale), which is great compared to over the hooks."
Mr Portelli said numbers were back, with fewer Australian Bush Goats (ABG) penned last week.
Boer does topped at $360 a head for a pen of does with kids at foot. The bulk of the doe offering sold from $140 to $220/hd. Boer wethers topped at $335/hd on account of Kerwin Perry, Tarana.
