BURNSIDE STOCK MARKET

BETTER PRICES RULING FAT CATTLE An entry of 264 fat cattle came forward at the Burnside sale yesterday, bullocks being in the minority, and the offering comprised principally cows and heifers. The bullocks forward were mostly good quality descriptions, but several pens of cows and heifers, particularly the former, lacked finish. The sale opened with values showing an appreciation on last week’s sale, and generally, prime ox beef sold at £1 per head dearer rates, while good quality cows and heifers were realising prices fully 10s in excess of the previous market. Old cows, which were in over-supply, did not attract the same competition, and there was no improvement for this class. Values were:—Extra prime heavy bullocks, to £ls 12s 6d; prime heavy, from £l2 2s 6d to £l3 2s 6d; medium quality, from £9 17s 6d to £lO 17s 6d; light, down to £7 7s 6d. Extra prime cows and heifers made to £8 17s 6d; prime, from £5 2s 6d to £6 17s 6d; light, down to £4 2s 6d. Donald Reid and Co., Ltd., soldi For A. W.

FAT SHEEP The entry of fat sheep numbered 1336, comprising principally ewes, with only a small percentage of wethers included. The ewe offering was confined principally to medium descriptions, with’ not a great many consignments of heavy grades. Wethers, on account of the shorter supply, were in keen demand, and showed an improvement of Is to Is fid per head, while heavy ewes participated in a similar rise on the average rates ruling at the previous market. Medium quality ewes also sold a shade firmer, but over the final races competition was lacking, and the sale closed with an easing tendency for all classes. Values were: Extra prime heavy wethers to 35s 9d: prime heavy, from 30s 3d to 32s 9d: medium, from 26s fid to 295: light, down to 23s fid.
