Composite ewes soar to $228

A single yard of Border Leicester Merino-cross young ewes won the honours for the best priced at the Landmark Casterton summer sheep sale last Friday.
The market toppers, which made $250 a head, were sold November-shorn by the Jewell family, Homebush, Heywood while most other first-cross young ewe lots, which were secondary in style, made $180 to $220.
Sustained interest in Composite-bloodlines however stole the limelight with an impressive display.
