Mr. Porter now finds that he cannot give the necessary time and. attention to the flock, and has therefore, reluctantly" decided-to-'dispose' of it; Tho opportunity is therefore presented, to breeders and others of obtaining sheep second to none in the Commonwealth, representing the result of 40 years of one expert's experience. Eighty-five per cent, of all rains sold have been studs, and only the pick of- each year's, ewe increase has been added to tho flock, with the view of. keeping up' tbe. standard rather than increasing' tho number. Constitution, wool, frame, and early maturity have always been prominent features. The most suitable sires procurable have been purchased as required. Rams have cut up to 351b. one year's growth, and ewes up "to 231b. The flock yearly averages from 151b. to 1711). The flock has had a remarkably successful career at tho Melbourne A.S'.B.A. and 'Royal Shows,, winning many champion . and other prizes, including Sires' Memorial Cup, for one yearling ram and two yearling owes, since its inception in 1907 (excepting two years). ' The : last two years that the flock competed at each 'of the above shows (which are*acknowledged to-be the best exhibitions in Australia) it gained a,'large proportion of the prizes offered.
