At the Arahura /Saleyards on Mlondav a fine line of fat Hereford bullocks was sold on behalf of Mr W. F, Diedricb, of Kokatahi, The beasts •were in splendid order and there was spirited competition for them. Three of the bullocks were slaughtered at the abattoirs to-day and formed the; subject of much favorable comment, there being considerable interest shown in their weight. The three slaughtered are estimated to weigh from 1000 to 1200 pounds each, and, there is reported to be some wagering on the actual dead weight.
