Romney ewes top Ashburton fair
Prices often half those paid last year, were termed realistic by auctioneers at the Ashburton strong wool twotooth fair this week.
When the value of wool and lambs was taken into account the sales would have been up to buyers’ expectations. Some poor lines realised low prices from a gallery prepared for hard bargaining. J. and R. Cocks, of Alford Park, had the top Coopworth sale at $23.75. J. A. Brown, of Winchmore, was paid top Romney price of $36.75. Some interest came from buyers from Oamaru and Southbridge for the 13,000 stock offered. Last year the offering was about 17,000.
