The Wellington-West Coast Ayrshire Breeders' Club will hold its 5th annual show and sale of pedigree Ayrshire bulls and heifers at the showgrounds, Palmerston North, on Tuesday, October 7, 1947. The sale this year has attracted the splendid entry of thirty bulls and twentyone heifers, all selected lots from well-known breeders on the West Coast, and the whole entry has been inspected by the club's inspection committee prior to lots being accepted. The majority of the

bulls are in the A.A. or A classification and butterfat produetion will be a strong feature in the pedigrees throughout the catalogue. This sale will afford farmers interested in the Ayrshire breed a splendid opportunity of acquiring herd sires of undoubted quality and females with production ability.
