HOGGETS SELL WELL
HASTINGS STORE SHEEP. FEW DRY EWES OFFERING. Store sheep experienced a bright market at Stortford Lodge yesterday -when a small entry, composed chiefly of ewe and wether hogget lines, was offered. Values showed a slight improvement on last week’s rates, with forward conditioned lines selling well. Ewes with lambs at foot made prices which showed little change. From a quality viewpoint many of the hogget lines were very good, and in consequence were in good demand. Ewes with lambs realised satisfactory prices, competition on these lines being confined to a few. Very few dry ewes, wore on offer. Some of the entries and prices paid, from which an idea of the state of the market may be obtained, were as follow:— Down from the Gisborne district, a line of store conditioned woolly ewe hoggets, mixed in size and carrying store order, 202 in the line, had a good sale at 16/2.
