KAIKOURA FAIR

Older Ewes Sell Weil (From Our Own Reporter) KAIKOURA, February 13. Older ewes showed a marked premium on Addington nates ait the Kaikoura ewe fair today. Younger ewes and wether lambs sold on a par with market rates, but ewe lambs were not quite up to these values.

For the best of these, prices ranged from about 90s to 955, with an odd sale up to £5 3s, good from 80s to 90s, and others at 70s to 80s, Four-year-old ewes sold at 48s to 63s for pre-lamb shorn sorts, with November shorn at 40s to 46s and recently shorn at 40s to 595.
