Glenburn Ryeland Stud Sale The dispersal sale of the Glenburn Ryeland Stud was held on the Palmerston North show grounds last Thursday by Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., in conjunction with Abraham and Williams, Ltd. Although the attendance in the aggregate was not very large still a very successful sale resulted, more particularly insofar as the flock rams and the ewe lambs were concerned. Buyers were present from North Auckland. Waikato. Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki, Rangitikei, and the whole of the Manawatu.

The sale opened on the young ewes, the majority of these being purchased on behalf of an Australian buying order, others going to the Hunterville and Ashhurst districts. The four and five-year-olds were secured by Hawke’s Bay breeders. The ewe lambs met with particularly keen competition from a wide range of buyers, the result being that these were widely distributed, some going to the Waikato and others being bought by local breeders.

The outstanding feature of the sale was the remarkable inquiry for flock rams, these being keenly competed for at prices ranging up to 12 guineas. Quite a large proportion of the flock rams sold were purchased by Romney-cross breeders to use in their flocks. The following are the major sales: — 4 1-shear ewes to J. Red, Ashhurst, at lOgns.; 12 1-shear ewes to Wright, Stephenson and Co., acting on behalf of an Australian buyer, at Bgns.; 4 1-shear ewes to V. Toulman, Hunterville, at 7 gns.; 4 6-tooth ewes to P.
