Feilding Stock Sale
All classes of stock were represented
but in smaller numbers at the Feilding
sale yesterday, when there was little variation on late rates. A small offering of fat sheep sold readily to local interests with values holding firmly for wether mutton.
There was a fair offering of breeding ewes in the store sheep pens but the
quality was variable and consequently prices Were not very good. Of the
store lambs there were one or two ex-
ceptional lines and these, looking healthy and bright, produced keen competition. Considering the quality of the fat cattle yarded prices were disappointing to vendors, good, well finished cows changing hands at values under recent quotations. The dairy section commanded considerable interest and the offering of mixed quality-oows and heifers was quickly disposed of. Good close to profit cows and heifers fully maintained late rates with an appreciable firming tendency. The following are the quotations: — Fat sheep: Lambs, 17s, 18s 3d, 18s 6d, 19s, 19s sd, 20s to 25s 6d for extra prime lots; wethers, 22s 3d, 22s 6d, 22s Sd, 235, 21s, 25s 6d, 25s lid, 265, 27s 2d, 27s 6c}, 27s 9d, 28s to 295; ewes, 16s, 16s 6d, 17s 2d, ISs, 18s 6d, 19s, 19s 3d, 19s 6d, 20s, 22s lOd to 235.
