EKETAHUNA SALE. GOOD COMPETITIONS FOR LAMBS. Messrs. Dalgety and Co., Ltd. report as follows on their weekly Eketahuna Sale as follows:—A large yarding of all classes of sheep, and a special entry of 70 winter calving cows and heifers came forward and attracted a large and representative attendance, buyers being present from the Manawatu, Dannevirke, Wellington, Wairarapa and all the local districts.
