:At Burnside 144 fat cat'lc were yarded. This was a small yarding, and as freezing buyers were operating keenly, and as butchers' supplies were exhausted, competition was extremely strong, and ox beef was selling at 43s to 46s per 1001b. Several pens of extra heavy bullocks were yarded, and one pen realised £2O ss, while others brought £24, £22 and £2l per head. Included in the yarding were a number of cattle of only average quality. Extra heavy bullocks £22 to £2(! ss, heavy £l6 to £lO, medium £l2 10s to £l4, others £lO 10.? to £ll 10s, prime ?ows and heifers £l2 to £l4, medium to good £lO to £ll 10s, others £7 os to £9. Fat sheep—2967 penned. This large yarding contained a good proportion of heavy wethers.
