N.A. Farmers' Big Yarding

An exceptionally heavy yarding, including stock off Mr Roy Duncan’s farm which was sold in conjunction with Messrs Dalgety and Co. Ltd., came forward at the Waipu sale held by the North Auckland Farmers’ Coop., Ltd., on Tuesday. Independent of the above stock, there was a very heavy entry of dairy cattle, but beef and store cattle were in rather shortly supply. Sundries offered on account of the Duncan Estate also sold particularly well, an incomplete second-hand wool-press making in the vicinity of £l9. The prices given for sheep in Dalgety’s report also apply to the North Auckland Farmers’ Co-op., Ltd.

Best dairy cows made £6 15/ to £7 5/; medium. £5 to £6 7/6; backward

and inferior, £4 to £4 17/6; cull dairy| cows, £2 10/ to £3 15/. Best dairy heifers, including a very nice line of 14 from Mr Gordon McLean, made from £6 to £6 7/6; medium dairy heifers, £4 15/ to £5 15/; backward and inferior heifers, £3 10/ to £4 12/6; medium fat cows, £5 10/ to £6 2/6; light fat cows, £4 2/6 to £4 17/6; heavy boner cows, £3 5/ to £3 12/6; medium, £2 10/ to £3 1/; light, £1 10/ to £2 7/6.
