A large yarding of pigs was disposed of with values for all classes except weaners remaining very firm at late rates. Values for weaners were slightly easier but there was a keen demand for all pigs from small stores upwards. The demand was also very keen for -fat and store and boner cows with values fully on a par with late rates.
