Good quality beef cattle filled the yards with the remainder largely Friesian bulls. Cattle either sold to a steady or firmer market. The heaviest yearling steers were a highlight, often selling for more than $1400. The store sheep sale ballooned out to around 12,000 head. There was more than enough buying power throughout, pushing the heaviest blackface lambs up to $141-$144.50. A few pens of good wet-dry Romney ewes sold quite well at $140.50-$147.
