MeetTCV

Short for Transmission Company Victoria, TCV is a new company created by AEMO Victorian Planning (AVP).

The TCV team is already busy with the Victoria to New South Wales Interconnector West (VNI West), an essential transmission project to carry clean, a ordable renewable electricity to towns and cities around Victoria.

AVP has set up TCV to make sure that important commitments made in the early stages of VNI West are captured and honoured across the life of the project.

TCV will play a big role in consulting with communities, landholders and Traditional Owners in this next stage of the project, the work to refine the route.

TCV is committed to working closely with all our stakeholders and the new TCV website will provide regular project updates and details of upcoming community events or opportunities for input.

THERE was Just a modest lift in supply at Bendigo on Monday after no sale last week with 11,050 lambs and 2500 sheep yarded.

Quality was again very mixed with fewer heavy grain-fed lambs available and more plainer trade and light types off grass.

Five processing orders were absent and others didn’t operate to capacity.

The market was very erratic, with all but the best heavy lambs cheaper than a fortnight ago.

The weaker trend was most evident over trade lambs in the 20-22kg and 2224kg ranges, some sales loosing up to $20. Overall the sale lacked buying depth, so if buyers didn’t like a pen of lambs for quality or skin presentation reasons the price tended to drop away.

Lambs in long woolly or seedy skins were discounted the most.

Best lambs over 30kg cwt were limited and made $190 to $208 at an estimated 600c to 620c/kg cwt.

Once off the lead pens more price variance started to show up in the market.

The heavy 26-30kg lambs $139 to $203, ranging from 550c to 600c for most but secondary types down below 530c at times.

Heavy trades 24-26kg $135 to $164. The 22-24kg cwt lambs $116 to $147, and the 20-22kg $96 to $131. There was a big price spread of about 450c to 580c/kg cwt over the general run of trade lambs.

Light lambs were generally cheaper on very plain quality, although there was still some pockets of strong sales to local restockers.

Limited sheep yarding which trended cheaper, most mutton estimated between 300c to 370c/kg cwt.
