LORNEVILLE STOCK SALE

DROP OF 15/- A HEAD

Yesterday’s Beef Values FAT SHEEP MARKET EASIER

Although values for prime quality bullocks were on a par with those ruling the previous week, prices for other sorts showed an easing tendency of about 15/- a head at the weekly sale at Lorneville yesterday. The yarding included some first-class beef, but little interest was shown in offerings made towards the finish. There was also an easing tendency in the fat sheep section, good quality sheep showing a drop of 3/- a head and medium and unfinished being back 4/- a head. Prices in the store section, which comprised mostly ewe hoggets, were a shade firmer than those ruling the previous week. A comparison with the yarding of the previous week is as follows: —

FAT CATTLE There was quite a good entry in the fat cattle section, and it included some quality heifers and medium-weight bullocks. The entry of cows, with the .exception of a few cases, was of only medium quality. Prime quality bullocks, in most cases, sold on a par with those of last week but other sorts were easier by about 15/- a head and over the last race passings were frequent. Prime quality bullocks brought from £l7/10/- to £lB/5/-, good quality medium weights £l5/10/- to £l6/10/-. handyweights £l3/15/- to £l4/10/-. lightweights £l2 to £l3.

FAT SHEEP The fat sheep yarding was slightly larger than that of last week, the majority being wethers. Approximately half of the wethers were of quite good quality, the remainder being light and unfinished. The yarding of ewes was of only medium quality. The number yarded was in excess of the requirements of local butchers and the absence of outside competition caused a drop in values of 3/- a head for good quality sheep and 4/- a head for medium and unfinished sorts.

Prime heavy wethers brought from 37/- to 38/6, good quality 35/- to 36/-, medium 31/6 to 32/6, lightweights 27/to 29/6. Good quality ewes made from 32/- to 33/6, medium 28/- to 29/6, lightweights 25/6 to 27/-, with unfinished from 20/- to 22/-. A small entry of lightweight fat .hoggets realized from 20/- to 22/6.
