INGLEWOOD SALE. (From Our Own Correspondent.) There was a full yarding of stock for the Farmers’ Co-op. sale on Wednesday and a large attendance. The sale was not a brisk one; buyers were slow except when tho stock offered was in really good condition, and for them competition was as it should be. Store cows made from 15s for poor conditioned animals to £3 for fresh cows. Fat bullocks realised £9 ss, forward £6, 15 to 18-month Jersey heifers sold up to £6, springing heifers from £7 10s to £l5, cows near calving from £l5 to £3O, backward or low conditioned £7 to £lO, fat wethers sold for 22s fid, hoggets 7a fid to 9s 6d, ewes and Jambs 8s INGLEWOOD HORSE FAIR. For the horSe fair on Thursday the Farmers’ Co-op. •organisation had a moderate entry only, which was unfortunate, ns there were buyers from beyond Taranaki, attracted, no doubt, by the four consecutive fairs by the firm at Opunake on Wednesday, Inglewood on ITursday, and Hawera on Friday and Saturday. These buyers were on tho look out for heavy draught Horses whether broken or not, but the number here was small. A fair number of the lots put up sold. £46 was given for a heavy draught mare, and £2O for unbroken filly? Not many heavy draughts l ave been bred in this district; the milk cart type is much more general and appears to meet most local requirements.
