THYNNE, LINTON & CO'S SALE OF ROMNEY MARSH RAMS.
On Thursday afternoon Messrs Thynne, Linton and Co. held their annual ram sale of Romney Marsh sheep at their yards, Foxton, from the flocka of Messrs Braithwaite & Kebbell, of Ohau, and Mr Akers, of Rivorsdale, Palmerston North.
Th.re was a fair .ttondanoe of buyers, but tho bidding was anything but spirited owing probably to to the scab soare. The first lot of 12 6-tooth rams fetched £1 ls 6d and were purchased by Mr Ruther ford, who also bought tho next lot of 2 J 2-tooth rams afc £1 2s Od each.
The first 2-tooth ram of Mr Akers fetched £3 10s and tho bidding slackened. We understand, however, the whole were sold immediately after the sale, viz 9 ram lambs £1 each to Mr Robinson and also 11 2-tooth rams to same purchaser. 2 2-tooth rams to Mr Thydne.
The rams wero a choice lofc, and the District is to be congratulated in having ecur.d such a stud.
