Feilding Ewe Fair
RECORD YARDING ANTICIPATED. It is expected that the offering at tho Feilding ewe fair, to be held on Friday next, will total close on 50,000 breeding ewes. While market quotations are inclined to be unsteady and slightly easier than earlier predictions, tho indications are that good sheep will command high prices. This is due to many dairy-farmers throughout the countryside switching over to sheep and coming on to the market for ewes. Such a thing has happened before, but on this occasion it is not entirely due to the high wool prices, but to the difiiculty of the labour market, skilled farm labour being very hard to secure.
