EWE VALUES RISE
Smaller Fat Sheep Entry
WETHERS & LAMBS STEADY Eat sheep were penned iu smaller numbers at yesterday’s sale at Stortford Lodge, and w r ere of better quality generally as far as ewe entries were concerned. These two factors combined to enhance values to the extent of 1/- to 1/6 a head on fat ewes, while wethers and lambs sold at parity levels.
Butchers were competing steadily throughout the sale, and kept export buyers out of the picture to, a great extent on any well finished lines. Despite the improved tone, however, several vendors were not prepared to accept market valuations, with consequent aassiwa.
