The yarding generally presented in forward store to prime condition and showed the usual type and quality expected from this district. The vendors should be congratulated in the manner they presented their stock sometimes under very trying climatic circumstances, but that is Braidwood breeding for you.

The yarding met sustained competition throughout the sale and values received were in line with what has happened at other centres during the last week.

A good gallery of buyer were present and came from South Australia, Milton, Ebor, Molong, Coonamble, Albury, Bungendore, Springwood, Crookwell, Cootamundra, Queanbeyan, Albury, Moruya, Wagga, Goulburn, Cobargo, Yass, Bega, Young, Wingham and some very good local Braidwood District competition.
