VENDORS’ EXPECTATIONS

REACHED AT BULL SALE. PRICES AT MASTERTON YESTERDAY. The Wairarapa Associated Auctioneers report: We held a beef bull sale in the Colombo Road saleyards yesterday. The entry comprised solely Aberdeen Angus bulls, no other breeds being represnted. The majority of the bulls were in fair order, although some showed the effects of a hard winter. The best animals created animated competition, but anything lacking in quality or condition met with a dragging sale. Practically the total yarding was sold under the hammer, and most of the passed-in lots were subsequently sold after the sale. Prices were up to vendors’ expectations and the following give details:— A/c Abbotsford: 2 year A.A. bulls: 2 to Foreman Bros., Awapiripiri, at 45gns each; 2 to N.Z, Farmers’ Co-op.
