FEILDING SALE

Messrs. Dalgety and Co., Ltd., Palmerston North, report as follows on the Feilding sale on Friday, 19th May: There was a full yarding of sheep and a fair yarding of cattle. Fat lambs were a shade easier, and fat ewes were decidedly back in price; store sheep, both lambs and breeding ewes were a good deal more difficult to sell and vendors met the market at lower rates..
