Registered Southdown Ewes

MESSRS P. F. AND L. B. WALL’S ANNUAL SALE

There was a good attendance of breeders at tho Showgrounds yesterday for tho third annual sale of registered Southdown ewes on account of Mr. P. F. Wall (Hatuma, Hawke’s Bay) and Mr. L. B. Wall (Kairanga). In all, 130 2-th ewes were offered, 105 being on behalf of tho former vendor.

The sheep were in good condition and some outstanding lots were included. The sale, however, was disappointing from the point of view of the vendors. They met the market and there was an excellent clearance, purchasers having reason to be pleased with their buying. Top price of the sale was lOgns., which was paid by Mr. T. W. Pearmain, of Mangaweka, for a single ewe. The auctioneers wero the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., and Mr. J. B. Thomson wielded the hammer. Sales were as follow: —
