Store lambs again led the parade at yesterday's Stortford Lodge sale

Store lambs again led the parade at yesterday's Stortford Lodge sale

The yarding of about 2500 lambs held their value as the season nears an end.

A pen of woolly ewe lambs topped the offering at $204. The best of the male lambs made $182.

The cattle offering of about 400 head was largely dairy beef breeds. Yearlings are beginning to appear in numbers and straight beef breeds sold well.

Buyers from Hawke's Bay were supported by others from Waikato, Feilding and Taihape.
