KEEN DEMAND IN MOST SECTIONS The annual ram and ewe fair conducted under the auspices of the Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society was held yesterday at Burnside. In the stud section Romneys met with a keen demand, and a revival of interest in Border Leicesters was shown, prices for this breed being the best obtained for some years. Best stud Romneys sold from 40gns to 57|gns, good stud Border Leicesters 35gns to 53gns, and Southdowns to 30gns. The offering of flock rams was the smallest seen at the fair for some years.
