Feilding Live Stock Sale

STOBE LAMB VALUES STRONGER Held on Saturday, the weekly live stock sale at Feilding attracted excellent entries with a good attendance of operators. In consequence of a rather heavy clearance of fat lambs, duo to the very much improved weather conditions experienced lately, the stoic lamb market was definitely stronger and values rose appreciably on late rates.

A few pens of breeding ewes were offered, and the sales recorded indicated that ewe values are likely to be on the low side as the fairs approach. Fat Sheep A short yarding of fat sheep included several small pens of lambs, mostly lightweights, which sold according to schedule rates. Wether mutton was round about late rates. Offered in small lots, the lambs sold us follows:—9 at 16s 9d, 11 at 17s 6d, 5 at 19s Id, 7 at 19s 4d, 2 at 19s 3d, 7 at 19s 7d, and 2 at 22s Id. For wethers M. J.
