DISPERSAL SALE

GLENBURN RYELAND STUD. M’right, Stephenson and Coy., Ltd., in conjunction with Abraham and M’illianis, Ltd., conducted the above sale on the Palmerston North Showgrounds yesterday. Although the attendance in the aggregate was not very large, a very successful sale resulted, more particularly in so far as the flock rams and the ewe lambs were concerned. Buyers were present from North Auckland, M aikato, Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki, Rangitikei, and the whole of the Manawatu. The sale opened on the young ewes, the majority of these being purchased on behalf of an Australian buying order, others going to the Hunterville and Ashhurst districts. The 4 and 5-year-olds were secured by Hawke’s Bay breeders. The ewe lambs met with particularly keen competition from a wide range of buyers, tlie result being that these were widelydistributed, some going to the M’aikato and others being bought by local breeders. Tlie outstanding feature of the sale was the remarkable enquiry for flock ranis, these being keenly competed for at prices ranging up to 12 guineas. Quite a large proportion of the flock rams sold were purchased by Romney cross breeders to use in their flocks. Tlie following are the major sales: 4 1-shear ewes to J. Red, Ashhurst, at lOgns.; 12 1-sliear ewes to M’right, Stephenson and Co., acting on behalf of an Australian buyer, at Bgns. ; 4 1-shear ewes to V.
