ABERDEEN ANGUS SALE
TOP PRICE 110GNS.
INQUIRY NOT STRONG
(Pur Pross Association.) HASTINGS, this day. Roughly half of the 120 pedigree stud and run Aberdeen Angus bulls which were offered at auction at Stortford Lodge yesterday were sold. The sale was organised by the combined breeders, and was held under the auspices of the New Zealand Aberdeen Angus Breeders’ Association.
It was apparent from the beginning that the inquiry would not be as great as that of last year, and, while many owners refused to meet the market, a number of sales were made later privately. The cattle came forward in good, hard condition. The top price of llOgns. was made by a solidly-built 20-months-old bull, sold on account of the estate of Mr. W. A. McFarlane. It was bought by Mr. J. F. Knight, Palmerston North. Another bull, on account of Mr. T. May, Waipawa, made lOOgns. The average of those sold at auction was about 30gns.
