REEF CATTLE

Aberdeen-Angus 0 The Woodlands Stud. The Woodlands stud of Aberdeen Angus cattio, owned and bred by Mr E. E. Burling, of Masterton, is well and favourably known throughdut the North Ibland, and particularly iu the Wairarapa district, having given good servlce over a long period of years. The stock are well grown, active and hardv^ the animals not being pampered in any way, being entireiv grass-fed. The "Wccdlands stud is founded on ihe Aberdeen Angus breed 's leading strains, And -are the ideal type for enabling the production oi early maturing beef, eo mui;h desired to-day. A reeent addition to the stud is Jerkin Eric, the latest Woodlands, importation from the Old Country. Jerkin Eric's sire was EquipmenYof the Laws, and his dam Jeka Erica. Jeka Erica traces direetly back to Erica through one of the most noted families of "the Aberdeen Angus cattle in the -United Kingdom. On the sire '3 side, wonderful.. breeding is klso shown iu Jerkin Eric, this tracing back to Old Jock No. 1 in the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society 's Herd Book of Great Britain. Woodlands stock- can be recommended to farmers who are desirous of obtaimng animals that will do well and produce the type of cattle that are •iemauded to-day by the consumer. • * • She .Matapihi Stud. Discuseing Mr T. May 's Matapihi Aberdeen Angus stud one's thoughts go rmmediately to. Epistos Quality. the iuxjorted bull purchased by Mr May at the Wayland Hopley sale in Wellingtonlast year. When the cOhsignment for this sale was discussed in the American Aberdeen Angus journal this is what the writer said, inter alia;— "It will be . impossible because of lack of space to list the whole consignment in detail.' Just as an example of what Mr Hopley is sending out-ou this oecaeion we have .seleeted from the lot one bull— Epistos Quality — whose likeness appears on the cover of to-day's journal. The picture lells a wonderful story. His breeding points clearly to the reason for siicii magnifieent results. Whether the geiitlemen of New Zealand know it or not or whether they ever discover the fact it still remaine that this great young bull . represents a combinatiou of breeding That has rested for nearly a century iu tb* hands of America's most skilled breeders, lhcn who set an ideal and worked to that goal. " .The sire EpiStos Quality is Quality Marskall 3rd and the dam Epistos Esthonia. With this added strength Mi- May, who is a recognised judge of the Aberdesn Angus breed, has brought his stud i o a very high staudard indeed and it :s bound to play an exceedingJy iniportant part in the - building up of ^xisting" Aberdeen Angtis herds in New Zealand. , On the femgle sidp Mr May Has spme t'Xtlaordinarily good cows aiid'he is -obifuning the type of .Aberdeen Angus flint guod judges fre seeking. Inspectionif this stud is cordially -invited- or. onquirics- will be-prdmptly attended to. Mt May's address is privafe bag, "Waipawa. - - - - .The. Glen Aros H.erd., The-Gleh Aros Aberdeen Angus kei'd ■>£ llr J. A. Maufariane^ Gleii Aros. Hastings, is a dislinguished oue, and -ontains the most valuable blood of the lueed in Xew Zealand. Kot only are th« tilen Aros bulls fashionably bred, bsit they have proved themselves as -.uie and potent calf-getters. Type and quality have always been '-utstanding features of Glen Aros stock, nnd-the herd is recognised as oue of the best known in the Dominion. The majority of the young bulls for >al© in 1937 were offcred at the Aberdeen Angus breeders' sale in Hastings, •ind averaged just on 40 guirieas, all uf the large consiguzuent being disposed of, this indicating tho exccllent demand rhat is y early experienced for Glen Aros '•aftle. These bulls were grass fed ai d enlirely in natural coudition, and caiiiO iorward in very good order. A number of well-bred young bul s, with good conformntion and of ap- ■ roved type. are available for sale ly ; rivate treaty. • • * The "Springfield" Stud A noted Hawke's Bay stud composed •if cattle showing tlie' true character:stics of the Aberdeen-Angus breed and founded with females embracing the leading and most fashionable straine is the Springfield stud, owned bv Mr W, II. Meech, Taradale, Hawke's Bay. At the head of the stud is tlie im j ported sire, Barmar Escort, purchased by Mr Mcceh for 330gn. lasr year at the Wayland Hopley Farxn's importation sale. He is from the fanio»= Pride of Aberdeen strain, and is sired by Barmar Quality, a double grandson of the celebrated Earl Marshall, whn has sired no less than five international grand champion bulls and one international graud champion cow. Barmar Escort carries no less that three strains of the world-famous Earl Marshall. Hia dam, Prizenora 100th, also descends from Earl Marshall, whilst she also foav back to mch famous sires as Protina Enlate and Prizemere, all sires of grand champioas,

The Taheke Stud. Continuing to attract more and more attention the Taheke Aberdeen Angus stud owned by Mr O. G. Nestor-BayiiSs goes from strength to strength. Prior to September of last year this atud could line up a remarkable display of sires and dams. Now added to these are the famous Amferican sire Black Eex of Bordulac and the equally famous dam Eseora Marlene. Both wero purchased at the Wayland. Hopley importation sale at Wellington last year, the former for 500 guineas arrd the latter for 360 guineas. Added to the fact tliat Mr NestorBayliss is headiug 'his stud with the best that money can buy, Taheke stock aie pastured on English grasses on high limestone country and no breeder can do better than to draw his stock from this healthy herd. Black Eex is a magnifieent bull showing great dCvelgpmeut and has a great front. He is beautifully srnooth ove>the 9houlders and along the back untjl you come to the hindquarters which are rcgarded as being as Uear perfeet as possible. His tail is set -in perl'ect alignment wTith his top iiue and it haugs in a straight line down to his hocks. He is a very deep fleshed bull firm to ihe toueh and he is particularly good over the loins and hips. The address of the stud is Taheke, Otane, Hawke's Bay, ahd Mr Nestor-BayJiss will be glad to supply any particulars and visitors are cordially invited to inspect, « • ® "Highland Home" Bui-lt up from stock of the very highest quality, the "Highland Aberdeen Angus stud, of Mr D. G. Forloug, Bunnythorpe, has established a niuue for high quality animals of this famous brijed. Outstanding in the establishment bf the stud has been Vietor 2ud of Wellington, the unbeaten champion of his day in biew Zealand shows, the bull which was the sire of Sumach Gwavas, another New Zealand Eoyal champion, which. was purchased by an Australian buyer. The dams of Mr Forlong's studs are all seleeted "Akitio" cows and have given outstanding performances. • Bulls from "Highland Home" wero res{K)hsible for the highest bidding at the first aiinual Aberdeen Angus sale held at fStortford Lodgfl aome time ago, up to 95 guineas being offered. • » • Shorthorns The Te Puna Herd. Mr. D. J. Holden, of Mangateretere, Hastings, has established his uoted Te Puna Bcotch Shorthorn stud on sonie of tlie iinest imported blood, which is outstanding in Australia and which promises to make a big contribution in tlie development of the beef industry tliar will place it on competitive lines w:ih the world leading beef producing countries. f Two years ago Mr. Holden imported. tlie famous. V mdictive of titonetanuo which was considered by prominent judges to be unequalled in Australia. This *1 b'S been followed by the Tecent; inqiorialiou "of the outsianumg bull Barugh Golden Star which h^s a liberal iusion of the renowned strains known to t-he Shorthorn. Bred by Mr. Josoph Barnes, of Barugh Syke, Wigton, Chlnberland, • Barugh Golden Star • was calved- on dune 14, 19351 'He Was sired by ,the" renowned liothiebrisbane Bnlwaritji being out of the 'famous cow Denton Seeret 3rd. • • . Eothiesbrisbane Bulwark HeeUrcd fust and champion and was awarded the Duthie Cup '^at the Aberdeen Spring Show,* where- he was sold for 1750 guineas.. Gplden Star's.dam isby Collynie Golden Key, whieh .was sold fpv, 1100 guineas at tlie, Collynie sale. !On tho sire side her grandsire Kniglit of Collynie was also fire of Eoyal Dallier, grand champion bull of Uruyuay. Oil the dam side Collynie Golden Key was sire of Master Struek, who was grandsire of Mitikile Lively Cluef, awarded grand champion at the national live-stock exhibition, Pulmero, Buenos Aires, Argentine. Barugh Golden Star is not only well tused with *prominent blood in the Argentine, but has a double infusion of the breeding of the famous Eoyal Dallier. Couung irom a noted prizewinning family, this animal was placed first- and champion at the Penrith show last year, Mr. Holdeu's new bull is a ricb dart roau, and is exceptionally quiet. 1» I build lie is square-set, not showing ] anything rakisli. He has a particularly | line toi>-line and a good maseuline head showing pleuty of width between the eyos. 'Ihe horns are unusuaJly flat, which is a feature, and, lie is showing a good eoverage. Short in the ieg, he j shows promise of breeding the type of carcase now demanded in the highest quality chillers. . , It is Mr. Holden's intention to mate Barugh Golden Star to the progeny oi his famous bul], Vindicftive of Stonelands, which also contains a strong infusion of the best blood in the breed. Although born in Cumberlaudj Golden Star is a purebred Scotch Shortnorn whose pedigree traces hani) direct-Jy to tlie most outstandiue Shorthorn sire of all time. Balcairn W hite Kaglo. It is interesting to notc tluit botli tbf Te Puna sires \vhioh represent the ^ highest standard of tlie Shortliori breed in tho Homeland, were personally seleeted by Mr. ltobert Ifonisby a veteran breeder, who is rcgarded a; being one of tlie greatest judges of tio breed in tlie Old Country. Both Mr. Holden's imported sire: are related t0 the Shorthorn which ro 1 centlv established in tlie Argentjne lln , world record pnce of 5,000 guineas an , who also traces liis descent to th( . famous Balcairn White Eagle. " On the female side of tlie Te Pun: herd is also to he found a bimilar ro

toarkable quality. The herd was founded by dams who were all sired either by imported bulls or sons of importations whose lengthy pedigrees leave no doubt as to the purity of the breed with which the Te Puna stud mfused. The foundation matrons are bred closely to the imported sires. Broadhooks FavOurite and Bapton Mascot whose hames are widely known in Shorthorn annals. The Te Puna herd is fortified by the possesSion of a representative oi the famous Jealousy family that is so eagerly sought after in the home oi the breed. At Mangateretere Mr. Holden has soiiie most distinctive heifers eired by Vindictive of Stonelands who also sired Vuidictive of Te Puna, the yearling bull which is regarded by experts to be the finest Shorthorn bull ever caived in Mew Zealand. One of the prides of the T« Puna stud is Marmion. of Te Puna, an outstanding two-year-old which is wondert'ufly developed and perlectly pioportioned. Bred at "Te Puna," he is a pure white bull wliose pedigree is unassailable, T'raced back it is found that his first five sires and grandsires were either imported bulls or the soris of imported bulls. One of .the outstanding features of the Shorthorn breed is their quiet- and docile nature, a fact which is readily appreciated by a visit to "Te Puna" and which is widely appreciated by those who handle cattle of this breed either iu the stock yards or the chilling works. Shorthorn cattle are also extremely early in maturing and for this reason are phrticularly popular as chillers. 9'or crossing purposes the Shorthorn is unrivalled and in this direction it will be an nnportant factor in the raising of the standard of quality for beef in New Zeaiaifd. * ' • * "Tupurupuru" Stud. It was in 192S that Mr Buchanan imported Mayilgwer Stamp, the champion yearling bull of Canada and the United States, while in 193'2 Mx Buchanan. followed with the importation of Browndale Bugler, the champion yearling of Canada. These two are tho only sires used in the stud, so that purehasers of cattle from "TupUrupuru" may be assured of tho very finesf blood, and all bulls to be offered at the sale next month are by these sires. Both Mayflower Stamp and Browndale Bugler have outstanding . records in the ahow-riug. Mayflower Sta'mp has 1 to his credit no fewer than 23 firsta 1 and three championships, and has never | been beaten in a show either in Canada j or New Zealand. The same may be said ! of Browndale Bugler. whieh was champion at the Toronto and London (Canada) shows,. and has never been beaten. The constitution of the cattle whicli jare being bred at "Tupurupuru" is j vastly superior from that which iu j former days was associated with tlie 1 Shorthorn breed, the class of cattle which is now available from this stud being suited admirably to breeding for the chilled beef trade. The stud is certainiy one of the, finest in the Dominion. & ■ s . « Herefords. "Whana Wkana Stud." •The'"Whana Whana" slud.of Messrs jBeamish Bros. reeeived its foundation with the purcfiase of niae seleeted eows and eight heifers at the late Mr G. C. Wheeler'a dispersal sale." These pureliases introduced .blood - of *the wellknowu Lady Graceful, 'Lurline, Benedietine and Countess families. Further additions were made in-1918, Tnfusmg fhe valuable blood ' of thq Leonora, Lydia, Almond and AmethySt- strains. The outstanding stud bull, Blue Blood, who left his stainp very clearly in the "Whana Whana" stud, as he did also in the "Bushy Park" stud, was also acquired at this sale, together with a particularly well-bred bull calf, Thor 2nd (Blue Blood-Princess 9th), who subsequently developed into a great sire and left some very fine stoek in the stud. The pogsessor of an excellent dlsposition and an animal of outstanding quality, Nevada (President WilsonPark Almond 6th) was purchased in 1923 from "Bushy Park." Eeeognising that the prc6ent-day de1 10 and is for hornleas cattle, Messrs jBeamish Bros. decided in 1934 to establisli a Polled Hereford section ol! the herd. To this eud Eoyal Gem 25th (Eoyal Gem (imp.) -Wilencote Leonora 3rd) was purchased at the "Wilencote" sale iu July, 1934, being, together with Eoyal Gem 27th, the second Highest priced two-year-old bull sold. Eoyal Gem 25th 's pedigree shows direet infusion of imported blood on both sidos, since his dam traces back to Ensign (imp.) on her sire's side and to Ea.ton Oak (imp.) on her dam's side. Although the "Whana Whana" cattle , have not been shown at any of the reeent shows, they have to their eredit . an excellent show-ring record, including ; champion cow at Carterton, reservo champion cow at Hastings, champioa group of a bull and four females at Hastings, and numerous first and second . j prizes for heifers both in Hastings and 1 I the Wairarapa. t j ^ # l , I , i The "Rakaipaka" Stud. 1 j A quality herd of Polled Herefords j lias been developed by Mr. T. W. 1 Graliaine Tombleson in the "ltakai- • paka" stud at Wairoa. The whole 1 herd eonsists of families most noted I for their eonstaney and ability in turn3 ing off each year bulls of the required type for baby be4f, Bred on country i which is far from a breeder 's ideal, - , these cattle never fail te find a.— ready

market for all tho "Rakaipaka" Stock that is for sale. The leading families iheluded in the herd are those , represented by Amethyst, Almond, Monekton Belle, Daisy, Lenore, Hilda, Graceful, Monkton Lass, etc. The present stock sire, Highwood Gay Grove, was imported from Canada to head the herd. He is by Grove Success V (Grpve Letition — Lady ' West) from Gay Lass II., a daughter of Polled Gay Lad and Gertrude. Highwood Gay Grove is a rich-coated, deepfleshed type of Polled Hereford, having massive bone and a great scalo. Tho stud, founded in 1921, haa now been brought to a standard of production from which the annual sale bulls are capable of holding atlention anywhere. This year's show team is a uniform Hue, and of the five to be on tour four are f6r private sale, the fifth having been sold subject to delivery aftOr being ekhibited. The imported Polled Hereford sire, Gay Grove, is leaving a fine class of stock, and tlireo young bulls by this sire will be seen at tlie Hawke's Bay show. ♦ '# # The "Nui" Herefords. A reeent visit to the Nui Hereford stud 'owned by Mr J. M. James, Masterton found. the first crop of'risuig two-year-old polled bulls,, gired by FoIIed BulKon SucceBs (imp,). looking particularly welL Polled Bullion Suc? cess wa* egecially impOrted from C»fr

In 1935 the double standard polled bull, Choice Gem, was imported while from trae to time the Nui Stud haj been strengthened with the importation of speoiniiy sei.'cted polled fomalesi -At present llitte are iu the herd n> lewnr than four imported heifers, together with their progeny, some of wiich were imported in utero.

The "Lime Terrace" Stud. A . high reputation throughout New Zealand has been gained by the oldestablished Hereford stud of Mr. "W. B. "White,; "Liine Terrace," Takapau, which "now has tha outstanding sire, HorOpito, -with Terrace Ahua Pai at the head of'the stud. Both sires have enviable records, Ahua Pai bo&sting almost 100 per cent. of imported blood. A show-ring Tecord second to none is enjoyed by the ' J.Lime Terrace } ' stud, stock from hero having earried off major prizes wherever shown in New Zealand. Since 1930 the *'Eime Terrace" stud has secured .no fewer than 22 championships, 14' reserve championships, 9 : .firsts, 39 seeonds, ten thirds, and, 1 on six occasions, has earried off the prize- for mos't points in the beef cattle. section, a clear indication of the value of .cattle from this stud in the production of beef of a type most required for export. The "Lime Terrace" stud showed only ' once- last season, . at the Golden Jubilee Show at Palmerston North, when the following awards were gained; Aged bjitf, 2nd; yearling buli, v.h.c.; aged eow, 1st and champion; tliree-year heifer, lst; two-year heifer, 2nd; yearling heifer, lst and 2nd.; best pair heifers, lst; most points iu Herefords, lst. . * • e « * ' Waiorongomai' ' ' ' Stud. imported blood of the best type is rich .itt the Polled Hereford stud of Mr J. E. Matthews. "Waiorongomai," which was founded with cows from the herd of Mr W. K. "Morton, Silverhope, and the sire BaiitoS Junior, a grfudsou of Santos Gem, whieh was specially imported from the United fetutus oi America. At the same time as the importation of Santos Junior, a heifer, Jean Mieehief 2nd, by Bob Gem from Jean Mischief, was imported, being at that time in calf to Gem Domino. Later the notable bull, High Stanway lst, and two polled femules( Daisy 's Choice 2nd and Lola Pride, were imported. High Stanway lst' is now the senior herd sire and Is leaving very good stock. He was shown With, marked success last year, being champion at Hawke's Bay, Carterton, and 'Masterton, and reserve champion at Palmerston North, Daisy 's Ch'oice 2nd and Lola Pride had heifer calves at foot on arrival, tho former 's calf being. by Gem Dot mino and the latter 's by Model Alax. "Waiorongomai" Polled Herefords are ideally suited to the chilled beef trade, and should prove particularly popular in Hawke's Bay. *• ■- , a ' '» - • / ;■ ' "wiiencbte'i Pfilied Herefords. .. , There is no. doubt that the" popttlarits whieh polled Herefords have achieVed in New Zealand is due to the enthu* siasrn- of Mr-F. E.-Humphreys,. ow'ner of tho Wilencote " stud, which was the pioneer Stud of Polled Herefords in tho Dominifin. The "Wilencote" stud- was- founded in 1929j and . Mr Humphreys was extremely .fortunate in securing for liis .foundation sire such a bull -as Eayal Gem,; whose progeny aro now Well known' throughout Australasia, and have hot onlv created kfeen qompetition in the ,sale ring, but have been consistent' wihners Of high awards 'at ' the leading, beef cattle shows in the North Islandias ;well.as at the Sydney Eoyal Sjiovv. . During the last three years the ' { Wilencote" show. team have ^cfeated a record of '.'winningB ;in' the, Shovfring that has not been jsurpassed by any other Hereford stud in New Zealand. During this period* they hai'e won 15 championships (including four Eoyals), nine Iieserve Championships and 59 first prize§. At the last Sydney Eoyal Show the reserve champion Polled Hereford cow was bred at "Wilencote" and tlie reserve champion bull was sired by a " Wilencote " bull. During the last year two bulls and five females have been exported to Australia, ahd nine head have been sold at tfiree flgure prices, at an average of 119jj guinfias. a m

w W w The 'Waihuka" Stud The "Waihuka" Hereford stud, owned by Messrs Hutchinson Bros., Gisborne, is freely conceded to be oue of the finest gouth of the Line. The excellence of the cattio has beeu proved during reeent years by theix many notable victories at the leading beef shows of tlie Ntirth Island and by the high prices paid for cattle from this stud whenever they are offered. The "Waihuka" herd was founded about 1913, and to-day must rank as one of the .largest jSereford breeding establishments in New Zealand. Many notable sires have been secured or bred for service in the stud, ihcluding Eoyal Navy (Mansfel Jack Tar — Park Regal), purchased for lOOOgns.', aud Sau PauJo (San Juan — Park Amethyst 04th), for which 800gns. was paid. With the view of concfihtrating on pure English blood, Messrs Hutchinson Bros. imported in .1934 the champion Hereford bull Paunton James at a landed cost of well over lOOOgng. Pauutojl James' (imp.) breeding has already been referred to in these columns. Eeeognising that the high standard of their herd could only be uiaintaiued by importmg the best obtainable in England, the "Waihuka'' stud-rnasters secured at the English Herd Book Society'.? Show, held in Februarv, 3936, the champion yearling bull, Flasiilight, at 650gns., top-prieed bnli and winner of tlie Owen WiEjams 100guinea ehallenge trdpliy for*€kampion of the showyard, and also one of the winning group of three bulls. At the reeent sale of "Waihuka" bred buUSj.held at Gisborai, 28 rising

two-year bulls averaged 89|gns., an increase of 20gns. per head on last year's figure. The top price was 200gns., paid for tho first' bull calf by Paunton James to be offered. Paunton James, incidentally, cost his owner the sum of £1200 to land at the "Waihuka" stud. Nine bulls Teached the three figure . mark during the sale, the lowest price paid being 50gnk. 7 V . # Red Polls "Mounfc Vernon'-' Stud. The old established "Moimt Vernon" «fcud herd of Mr J. W. Harding, domiciied at "Mount A'ernon," Waipukurau, was founded on animals prarchased froin Sir Heaton Ehodes, Otahuna, Canterbury, and Mr H. M. Strachan, ' 'Kowhai," Station, Poverty Bay. Tho herd is reared and maintained under natural conditions on healthy hill country, every animal showing sound constitution, in eombination with the true dual-purpose type. "M'ount Vernon" Red Polls are, early aiaturang "and excellent fatteners and the females give very good milk yields. Drafts of Red Poll steers and "bullocks bred and fattened at ' ' Mount Vernon" always aaeet very keen competion when offered on the Hawke's Bay market. FrOm the foundation of the stud considerable eare has been taken in the selection of the herd sires, with. the object . of maintaining that even balance between beef and milk production which is the hall-mark of tho true Red Poll. The many find bulls iiiclude Kohuratahi Valentine, sired by the imported bull Gresham Masterful. This bull is bred from exceptionally ' high quality producing stoek. Every animal shows constitution and dual purpose type. The Mount Vernon stud of E'omneyMarsh sheep was founded iu 1876 and Mr. J. W. Harding, tjie present owner and breeder, is the third generation of Ilardings who liave bred this stock. The flock was founded on seleeted raois purchased from the late Alfred Ludlow, of Hutt, and , cwes from the late Mr. Boys, of Rangiora, Canterbury. The animals are of' good Eomney type and have done well wherever they have goue. 4 • # "Clovelly" Red Polls. Quartered at "Clovelly," Hatuma, close to Waipukurau,' Mr H. P. Hole's Ee-d Polled herd contains. excellent stock. The herd maintains all the traditions of the popular Red Poll breed being of true dual purposfi type, early maturing and good milkers. This herd has become thoroughly established and is now very favourably known throughout the. province for young stoek that are bred- true. to type. , -
