LORNEVILLE STOCK SALE

HEAVY YARDING OF FAT SHEEP

UNUSUALLY BIG FOR TIME OF YEAR SLIGHT RISE IN VALUES FOR FAT CATTLE An unusually big yarding of fat sheep for the time of 'year was a feature of the weekly Lorneville stock sale yesterday. More than 1500 sheep were forward, compared with about 600 the previous week, and but for the fact that there was strong northern competition for supplies for the Burnham military camp, prices would have dropped considerably. As it was, however, values, more particularly for wethers, were only slightly easier. . A smaller yarding was forward in the fat cattle section and values, from the outset, showed a slight increase on the previous week’s prices. An exceptionally good prime heavyweight bullock made the very high price of £2l. The following are the yardings in the individual sections at the last two October 10 Octobers Fat cattle 120 165 Store cattle 70 56 Fat sheep 1534 595 Store sheep 809 762 Dairy cows 13 20

Included in yesterday’s yarding were 3 fat lambs, 3 vealers, 2 bulls. FAT CATTLE In the fat cattle section a smaller yarding was forward. The entry included several trucks of prime heavy bullocks, heifers and cows, and there were fewer pens than usual of out-of-condition sorts. The values, from the outset, showed a slight rise on last week’s prices. Extra prime heavy bullocks made to £2l, prime heavy £l6 to £lB, prime mediumweights £l3 to £l5, lighter £lO to £l2; extra prune heavy heifers, £l2/10/- to £l4, prime £lO/10/- to £ll/15/-, lighter £9 to £10; extra prime heavy cows up to £l6/15/-, prime heavy £l2 to £l4, medium £9 to £lO, lighter £7 to £B, The Southland Farmers’ Co-operative Association, Ltd., sold:—Account G.
