Johnsonville Sale

Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report on Johnsonville sale on Tuesday as follows: — To a smaller attendance of buyers than usual we offered a large yarding of both sheep and cattle. The bullocks were of mixed quality with a few pens of exceptionally heavyweight cattle, the balance being lightweights and unfinished sorts. Competition was keen for all classes with no alteration in price. The cows and heifers were of good quality and a good sale resulted with prices firm on last week. IJuiiiiers and vealers met with a keen demand at increased rates. The yarding of wethers was chiefly of heavy-weight sheep, only a few pens of light sorts coining forward. A good sale resulted with a total clearance on a par with last week's rates. There was a larger yarding than usual of ewes, which were of good quality. A good sale resulted with no alteration in prices. There was little demand for hoggets, only a few pens of prime finished sheep meeting with any competition. The first spring lambs of the season came forward but there was not the usual demand for lambs as there has been in the past.
