HUNTERVILLE SPRING CATTLE FAIR Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report an average yarding of cattle of all classes at the above fair. Several pens of P.A. and Hereford bullocks, although not carrying a great deal of condition, sold well up to late rates and in some cases above those ruling over the past two weeks, when the market definitely eased, due to the dry weather prevailing over that period. The market for 2yr. steers was keener than was anticipated, top lines of these cattle selling at from £8 to £8 11s. We | offered a line of fat Shorthorn cows on account of Mr. A. Sutherland, Mangahoe. These being an outstanding line of prime quality cows sold up as high as £l3 for the top pen. Quotations: — 4yr. P.A. bullocks, £9 10s to £10; 3yr.
