Stores absent from sale
“The Press” Special Service TIMARU.
Very few store sheep and prime cattle were offered at the Pleasant Point stock sale this week, but there was a medium to large yarding of prime ewes and wethers. In the store sheep section a pen of medium type f.m. breeding ewes in lamb to Hampshire and South Down rams made $5.15.
The few cattle offered ranged, from $126 to $134 for medium heifers and to $l4O for medium steers.
Quite a number of prime empty and late lambing ewes, obviously from clients’ flocks, were yarded in the prime sheep section and a number of good prime wethers were on offer. The best woolly two-tooth wethers realised between $7.50 and $B.BO but the bulk of the yarding in this section sold from $6.50 to $7.40. Other values were:
Best shorn wethers, from $6.50 to $7.50; best woolly butchers ewes, $4 to $4.80; light ewes, from $3; best shorn ewes, to $3.85.
