Sales were held in the Farmers’ Coop. yards on Wednesday and Thursday, the former being the regular fortnightly general stock sale, the latter the spring bull fair. For the general sale there was a good yarding of stock, but the effect of the general falling-off in prices was evident. A line of ewes and lambs sold for 12s, yearling steers from 25s to 28s, mixed yearling heifers 50s to 60s, empty heifers 2 years Jersey cross £5, mixed £3 7s 6d, springing cows made up to £l4 and a Jersey-Shorthorn heifer £l5. For the bull fair on Thursday there was a good attendance, buyers showing a strong leaning towards grade and pedigree Jerseys. Scrub bulls and aged were not. in any demand by breeders, a hopeful indication for better things in future in this district. A purebred Friesian bull sold for 89s; other mixed breed animals, from to Sgns; 2 to 4-year-old grade Jerseys brought Bgns and I2gns, and as high as ISgns; a 2-year pedigree Jersey, from Mr. Muir’s herd, Brixton, 30gns, and yearlings 25 and 27gns.
