SALES AT WYNDHAM Henderson and Co., Ltd., report on the Wyndham stock sale as follows:— The yarding of 7000 odd sheep was not up to the recent standard, with the exception of a few pens of stores. Bidding was keen for good breeding ewes, the best 2-tooths realizing 29/-. Fullmouths were not in keen demand, five-year-olds reaching 18/-. Dairymen’s sorts sold at up to 14/-, but indifferent lines were hard to quit at from 6/- to 9/-. Store lambs were keenly competed for, the prices of from 14/- to 18/- being an advance of from 1/- to 1/6 on recent values. Store wethers were few in numbers and met good competition at ruling rates. There was only a small yarding of fat lambs, the prices for which ranged from 19/- to 22/-. Fat ewes and wethers showed an advance of from 1/- to 2/- a head. There was only a medium yarding of good quality fat cattle, but because of the absence of buyers these showed a decline of up to 30/- on recent rates. Sales were:—
