GOOD JERSEY PRICES.

COWS REACH 81 AND 77 GUINEAS.

The sale of Mr M. J. Lenihan’s registered pedigree Jersey cows and heifers was held at the Levin saleyards on Thursday and proved verj successful. The catalogue was a limited one of four cows, two heifers, and three bull calves, but the quality was high, and the competition throughout was very keen, the lots being knocked down in each case after spirited bidding among the Jersey fanciers present. The be6t price obtained was for the cow Newlands’ Sunbeam 10,945, by Hill Shamus 3398, from Esina 4997, which fell to the bid of Mr A. Anderson at 81 ginue&s. Another entry that created good competition was the heifer Newlands’ Rosebud 13,486, a full sister to Newlands’ Sunbeam, but a year her junior. She realised 77 guineas, the purchaser being Mr F. Smith, Paraparaumu. The remaining entries sold at quite satisfactory prices. The sale was conducted by Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Mr C. Day wielding the hammer in his usual efficient style.
