AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: The “Newfield” Stud was started in 1945 and over the years has been built up to the present high standard by careful selection and culling. Predominantly of Punchbowl blood, the ewes are big framed, lengthy, and of good colour. The flock rams from this stud have always been keenly sought after and the majority of Mr Duff’s clients are of many years’ standing. The flock has recently been inspected and transfers will be available at the sale for all female stock. It is seldom that a complete Southdown stud of such quality is offered by public auction, and the stock can be thoroughly recommended to all intending purchasers. ORDER OF SALE Sundries and Crossbred Ewes will be offered first and the Sale of Stud Sheep will commence at 2.30 p.m. Catalogues available at the sale or on application to the Auctioneers. 2258 PUBLIC AUCTION ATTRACTIVE FATTENING FARM BAY OF ISLANDS-NORTHLAND THURSDAY, MARCH 31,1966, AT 1.30 p.m. ON THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED HEREIN. 509 ACRES— Freehold well situated in a rapidly growing and very desirable area. Just off the main highway 5 miles from Kerikeri town and all schooling. Near the coast. Easy undulating, 450 acres improvable pasture, quite well fenced with ample water available. Buildings include a superior 3-bedroom dwelling with double garage covering over 2,700 sq. ft. erected 1964. Second house with 3 bedrooms; near new woolshed; 3 good hay barns holding over 3,000 bales; implement shed; near new sheep yards, cattle yards and shower dip. Stock carried as at Ist June 1965, 2,050 m.a. Romney ewes, over 100 head of cattle. Approximately 1,000 bales of hay only being fed out to the cattle to supplement winter grass. No cropping. The first draft of lambs is usually the third week in October each year. AUCTIONEERS NOTE— Probably the best farm of this type in the district. With further subdivision the property lends itself to an intensive stocking programme. A free draining soil provides good wintering conditions and management is a straight forward operation. During the winter of 1965 this farm was substantially understocked with cattle. Prospective purchasers for this property must arrange to inspect house and buildings before the day of the sale. This can be done with the auctioneers. AUCTIONEERS:WRIGHT, STEPHENSON & COMPANY LIMITED, WHANGAREI BRANCH, P.O. BOX 43, WHANGAREI. ’PHONE—B4-779 Day ’PHONE—B7-146 Evenings 2216
