Auctions The flock, half of which consists of young sheep bred from the rams of Mr. G. H. Moore, of Glenmark, and Messrs. Maxwell and Mathias, of Racecourse Hill, has been carefully culled for a series of years. Owing to the position of the country it reaps the benefit of north-west rain in summer, which produces abundance of feed.
