AN OUT SIZE IN FAT STOCK.
Included in the shipment of fat stock which left Pox ton on Thursday on the s.s. Himatnngi, was a. large bullock from Mr T. Saunders' farm at Glen Orona. The animal lipped the scale at well over a ton, and it was only with difficulty that il could bo go I into the shipping race. It was squeezed into the box tit the end of the race, where the belt was fastened round its girth and as-it was hoisted slowly into the air cameras clicked in all direct ions. Before the animal was shipped the winch on the ship was put into a lower gear than that used in the ordinary course of shipping fat stock. The animal was safely landed in the hold, where it was made comfortable in a. special pen. It is to be offered at the Addington sales next week.
