FEILDING STOCK SALE

HEAVY OFFERINGS Press Association FEILDING, Friday. About 14,000 sheep and a heavy yarding of store and fat cattle were penned for the stock sale today. The fat sheep pens were scarcely needed, as only a few lines were offered. The store sheep, mainly breeding ewes, were not nearly up to the quality yarded a few weeks ago, consequently prices were down. A few really good pens attracted satisfactory prices.
