Cattle and Sheep Sales Report Across Markets
The week saw steady demand for good quality stock with firm prices for top lots. Yardings included 340 head of Verde cattle and 230 trade lots, while dairy cows and springing heifers drew strong interest. Prices ranged from £2 to £8 per head, with notable sales to J. Walters, H. J. Mulder, and W. Vaughan among others. Overall turnout was modest due to variable weather and tighter supply, yet buyers remained active for prime cattle and store stock.

Closer settlement critics flag failures in Victoria land policy
Victorian land policy faces critique as limited available land blocks are locked in large estates. Critics say the Closer Settlement Board mishandled sales, inflating prices and burdening settlers. Examples cite Keayang estate near Terang where a 88 acre block yielded 72 pounds yearly while milk income was 132 pounds. One family faced hardship with heavy burdens and poor roads, undermining the aims of closer settlement.
