The cattle were in good demand, and sold freely at good prices, but sheep were dull of sale, a fair number of wethers being sold, but ewes not going off so well. For cattle three-ycaigold steers were from £5 7s 6d to £5 10s; Jwo to two and a-half year old steers were at £4 15s.
In sheep 2 and 4-tooth wethers sold at 11s 2d, and ewes from 5s to Bs. A considerable number of sheep were passed in, as they did not reach the owners’ reserves.
Tho next sale will be held on the 9th of May.
