QUALITY STOCK KEENLY SOUGHT AT MORRINSVILLE
An average yarding of store lambs was penned at the weekly stock sale at Morrinsville on Friday. White-faced lambs were in good demand at recent values, and black-faces were slightly slower of sale.
Values remained fully firm for a good entry of fat cows, and boner and store cows sold freely at recent high rates. Good quality, well-grown heifers showing in calf in the dairy section sold readily. Poor and backward pens were not so keenly sought.
