FEILDING SALE. Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report good yardings in all sections at the Feilding sale on Friday. The sheep section was well represented with both breeding ewes and lambs of both sexes with a fair sale resulting for anything showing quality. Inferior and aged breeding ewes met a dragging market. Fat sheep of all classes sold freely, values hardening on last week’s rates. A good yarding of run bred cattle was submitted with the demand very sound right throughout. Values still remained firm. Dairy cattle were penned in average numbers, very few quality lots being submitted; consequently, just an average sale resulted. A heavy penning of beef came to hand, these meeting with fair competition, last week’s rates being hardly maintained.
