There was also a good demand foi springing and empty heifers, springers making from £8 5s to £ll. and a heifer just calved £ll 10s. The 18months heifers, which were rather on the small side, sold under competition at £6 and the weaner heifers, which were good Jersey colours, and from selected cows, made from £3 ss. There was also a large quantity of sundries offered, and these, which were in very good order, commanded competition, making prices slightly above those ruling at late sales.
