A big bench of buyers kept store lamb prices strong at yesterday's Stortford Lodge sale.

Most of the big yarding of about 8000 head was good quality and sold accordingly.

Demand was also strong for the 815 in-lamb ewes on sale.

A feature of the lamb sale was the 8948 capital stock Romney ewe lambs from Glenview Farming, Tangoio.

The farm has been sold for pine trees.

The story was different in the cattle rostrum with a small offering of 136 head, many of them showing the effects of the feed shortage.

Buyers were from Hawke's Bay with others from Featherston and Hamilton.
