Feilding Sale Report

FRIDAY AUGUST 16, 1935. Dalgoty and Company Limited report a smaller entry in all sections at the salo on Friday. In the fat sheep section only a few pens of finished sheep were submitted, and th'-e met with better competition with slightly higher prices. One line of prime shorn wetliors, the first of tho season, was penned and sold at 20s. Only an odd pen of breeding ewes was entered and with the small attendance of the public, sales were not so keenly made. The store hoggets also wero in shorter supply, but ewe hoggets are still strongly competed for at the best of previous prices.

A good yarding of good quality station beef came to hand and prices for the best sorts were firm on recent sales. There was little in tlie dairy section, prices if anything eased a little, backward and late heifers being difficult to soil. In comparison dairy cows met n ready market.

Messrs Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report on tho PeildiDg sale on Priday as under:—

Just a moderate entry of sheep of all classes was submitted at yesterday's sale. Both breeding ewes and hoggets of both sexes sold freely for lines of sound quality.

Fat sheep: A light entry was submitted in this department, tho demand for fat ewes and wethers being just a little keener than Avas the case at last week's sale.

Fat cattle: Some nice quality well finished Polled Angus cows and heifers were submitted and for these tho demand was good, dairy bred sorts soiling on a par with last week’s sale. Run bred cattle wero not keenly competed for, very few sales being effected in this department. Dairy cattle: Tho demand in this section was of a slow nature, duo no doubt to the fact that tho yarding was lacking in quality. Quotations: —
