WANGANUI STOCK SALE
STORE LAMB MARKET QUIET JACKSON AND COMPANY’S REPORT Freeman R. Jackson and Co., Ltd., started the 1939 live stock season with a moderate yarding in all sections except the fat sheep entry, which came forwarded in large numbers. Fat sheep, of all classes showed a slight decline, while fat pigs and stores appreciated considerably on the closing sale of last year. There was a definitely cautious tone when the first store lambs of the season were placed before the public. The yarding in this section was not a very choice one, the bulk being second class and culls. Beef was not much in demand, probably because of the warmer weather. Following is a range of prices:— Sheep.—Fat ewes, b.f. maiden, 12s 9d; fat ewes, 10s lOd to Ils 8d; medium, 9s 6d to 10s; fat 2-tooths, good, 18s to 19s; medium to 17s Id; fat lambs, 18s to 21s 6d; two-tooth wethers (mediqm), 16s 6d; medium shorn, b.f. lambs, 10s 6d; culls, 6s sd; m.s. lambs, (small and cully) 10s; ewe lambs (small shorn) Ils sd; wether lambs (small and shorn) 6s. Cattle.—Fat ewes, £7 10s to £8; ex dairy cows, medium, £4 10s to £4 17s. Pigs.—Light baconers, £2 10s to £2 16s; heavy porkers, £2 5s to £2 10s; porkers, £2 to £2 ss; stores, 26s 6d to 30s 6d; weaners, 21s.
