Stortford Lodge: Outside support fuels strong demand

Photo / File

Plenty of outside support and quality stock ensured strong demand at yesterday's Stortford Lodge store sale.

Buyers for the 1300 cattle and about 3000 sheep came from Hawke's Bay, Waikato, Christchurch, Manawatu, Wairarapa, and Rangitikei.

There was also a big consignment of more than 500 quality cattle from Wairoa to boost numbers.

The lambs have recovered from the effects of the drought which was reflected in the prices paid.
