LORNEVILLE STOCK SALE

GOOD FAT SHEEP » MARKET Higher Values For Ewes TOP PRICE IN CATTLE SECTION The fat sheep market showed a further improvement at the Lorneville stock sale yesterday and although wethers were easier by about 1/- a head values for ewes were better by 1/-. In the later stages of the sale however, a slight easing tendency became apparent. The finest quality wethers yarded realized 52/3 a head and this is the best price for many years. The fat cattle market was firm and good quality heifers and cows sold well. The top price for the season was realized for bullocks when one very fine animal sold at £lB 15/-. Entries in the store sections were considerably smaller than last week, but the fat cattle and fat sheep yardings were well maintained. Yesterday’s yardings and those of the previous week were as follows:—

Included in yesterday’s ■ yardings were 40 dairy cows and two vealers. FAT CATTLE The entry of fat cattle was somewhat smaller than that of the previous sale, but a bigger proportion of bullocks was penned. One consignment of very choice cattle sold as high as £lB 15/-. Good heifers and cows sold well, there being very few good quality cows in the yarding. Extra prime heavy bullocks realized up to £lB 15/-, heavy bullocks from £l3 to £l4 10/- and medium weights from £lO to £l2.
