Feilding Stock Sale

Is.Z. Fanners’ Co-op. Distributing Co., Ltd., Feilding, report on Feilding sale:—We submitted an entry of 1500 head of cattle of all edasses. The demand for good class dairy stock continues good and prices well maintained. Fat cattle were in short supply, and prices hardened. Our main entry consisted of well-bred station cattle, female stock predominating.
