The Farmers’ Co-operative Auctioneering Co., Ltd., reports : — At the weekly stock sale in the Frankton yards on Tuesday we had an average yarding of fat and store cattle and a good yarding of fat sheep. Good quality beef met with keen competition and sold at late rates, but owing to the heavy yarding of fat sheep these were slightly easier.
