All classes of store stock continued to sell well at the Stortford Lodge store sale yesterday.
A big yarding of about 800 cattle of mostly top quality sold especially well with heavy angus steers making up to $2080/head.

Good yearling heifers made up $1140/head and yearling steers up to $1500/head.

New-season store lamb recovered after last week's $20 drop. The best of them made $176 but the best of the rest were between $130 and $147.

A feature of the lamb sale was the offering of almost 1500 lambs from Te Puna Station, Wairoa.

The big bench of buyers were from Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, Waikato and Wairarapa.
