DAIRY CATTLE SELLING

“During the week several sales ot dairy cattle have been held, and in nearly every case tiny have turned out quite a& well’as was expected. ,

Hie first- big sale of heifers held in the Huuraki Plains district attracted a large attendance, and. although the heifers were not Up to expectations, quite a number being small and backward, those that were sold realised a ve-rv satisfactory average. The majority of dairy farmers however appear to want to wait until the cows and heifers are close to profit, although good quality animals will attract attention at, any time.

< A few trucks ol good quality Jersey heifers are changing hands in the paddock, but private sales generally arc, hard to make, and purchasers this year again seem more inclined to buy per medium of the yards. There- is very little difference,- to report in the beef section, as mbtli the congestion -at the freezing works and the over-supply of o\- beef coming forward to the yards, competition is lifeless. At Frankton on Tuesday only extra primo cattle commanded attention, and practically the whole of

tlic balance of the yarding was passed. Cow and 'heifer beef is also lower now than it ha,s been for some months past. Store cattle a.ro still dull of sale, but, very few male cattle of any quality are being yarded. In the sheep secton fat sheep are still holding their own. while the demand- for, store sheep is ' still as keen, as ever, and although, the yardings have boon small, v;il) the -store sheep have, novor failed to change hands'.

, The .pig . section i s ; showing signs o,f easing. -off. This, n 0 doubt is due to 'the Tiitenes'j;' of Mho season.”
