BURNSIDE SALE
A BETTER TONE By Telegraph—Press Association DUNEDIN, June 10. There were 269 fat cattle yarded at Burnside, comprising principally medium quality bullocks. Prices generally were firm at late rates. The yarding of store cattle numbered 200, including a good line of 100 three and four-year-old steers which realised from £5/14/- to £B/7/-. Vealers were in short supply and had a firm sale. Boner and grazier cows also attracted good competition, though there was no appreciable rise in values. The fat sheep entry totalled 1280, medium quality ewes being forward in greatest number. All prime heavy ewes sold at 1/- higher and medium quality ewes from 6d to 1/- firmer. The entry of 413 fat lambs was unattractive, but prices remained on a par with those realised at the previous sale. Only 18 dairy cows were forward and best young sorts close to profit brought to £6. There were 10 fat pigs in the pens with porkers in the majority. Both porkers and baconers sold at recent values. The 38 stores submitted sold at slightly increased prices.
