OHINEWAI SALE The Farmers’ Co-operative Auctioneering Company, Limited, report that at their Ohinewai stock sale yesterday an average yarding of cattle was penned. Bidding for all classes was steady and values firm. Beef sold at late rates and a small yarding of boner and store cows was keenly sought. An entry of Shorthorn steers changed hands at late rates. Dairy cattle offered lacked quality and values accordingly were lower. Service bulls created quite fair interest, but prices were hardly up to values ruling at recent sales. Quotations: —Cattle: Young fat cows, £9 10s to £10; fat Jersey cows, £5 5s to £6 7s 6d; boner cows, £2 10s to £3 15s; forward-conditioned store cows, £4 5s to £5 18s; 2-year Jersey heifers, £3 15s to £3 18s; yearling Jersey heifers, £3 7s 6d; 3-year Shorthorn steers, £7; 2-year Shorthorn and P.A. steers, £4 8s; 2-year Jersey bulls, £7 10s to £8; 2-year Ayrshire bulls, £10; yearling Jersey bulls, £5 15s to £7; yearling Friesian bulls, £3; aged P.A. bulls, 61gns.; small yearling Jersey bulls, 30s.
