Addington market
Steady store sheep sale
Heavy, weH-woolled lambs soid to $l7 at the Addington market yesterday during a steady sale for store sheep., A yarding of 9100 store lambs attracted keen interest from a large gallery of buyers, . including many farmers whose crop harvesting has been delayed by the wet weather.
A combination of a small yarding and extra buying power ensured prices were fully firm with recent rates.
Small lambs sold particularly well.
At the top end of the market, woolly Romneys sold to $17.10 and Border cross reached $l7. Other good lambs ranged from $l4 to $l6 and mediums were $lO to $l3. Few lambs sold for less than $7.
The adult sheep section contained the biggest yarding of the season, and prices were encouraging for vendors.
Medium two-tooths sold at $l6 to $lB and a line of 553 attractive Halfbreds from Cloudy Range, Waiau, made from $17.60 to $l9.
