FEILDING CATTLE FAIR
YESTERDAY'S BIG SALE. SATISFACTORY PRICES REALISED. Prices received at the Feilding Cattle Fair yeeterday were satisfactory to vendors. This was specially the case covering fat and , store cattle and dairy stock. For young beef cattle the bidding dragged somewhat. The buyers present represented a w-kter district than usual. Hawke's Bay buyers were expected to put some life into the sale,, and the expected happened. Taranaki province also showed enterprise, many ,lines being bought for the Waitotara, district. Store cattle realised up to and over £17 per head, and fat cattle fetched over £21. In the dairy cattle pens, any entries showing the Jersey strain met with a ready sale. The yarding would have been larger but for the flooded state of the country in parts. Levin and Co. report: — At the Feilding cattle fair on Friday we offered a large entry of cattle.
