Pigs & Sheep Come Forward Well At Fortnightly Sale
A good yarding of pigs was penned at the fortnightly pig sale held at Te Puke by the Farmers’ Cooperative Auctioneering Company. The majority of animals were good quality porkers and medium bacon. Competition was keen and prices hardened on late high rates. Medium weight bacon was very keenly sort while store and weaner pigs were dull of sale.
