PEDIGREE STOCK SALE.

1: CATTLE AND PIGS AT CENTRAL K DEVELOPMENT FARM. J', SATISFACTORY PEICES REALISED L The annual sale of pedigree dairy f" stock and pigs bred on the Central De- £ yelopment Farm took place yesterday I- afternoon at the Farm. Buyers from *■ many'parts of the North Island, mt- ■ eluding the Auckland district, were re. V presented, and on the whole the prices % • were satisfactory to the sellers, while T- the purchasers have the assurance i given by scientific breeding that their V investments are sound. The cattle eom- *■ prised Friesian and Red Poll yearling Z bulls, older bulls, and a few Red Poll -- cows and heifers, but buyers were found I onlv for yearling bulls, the top prices ? being 45 guineas, at which Dominion ¥ Robin Hood and Dominion King Do- ?-' mino Woodcrest were each knocked ■ down to Mr E. C. Banks, of Matamata. a Other prices ranged from 22i to 33 i guineas. -<~ The pigs made a successful sale. 1 hey * were divided into the Berkshire and *- " Large Black breeds and there was a f keen demand- for sows visibly in pigi- The best price was 20 guineas, for the ~" 15-months sow Weraroa Gage Echo, ;- bought by Messrs Candy Bros., of Te i Awamutu. The demand for younger sorts was not so brisk, the tendency evidently being to secure animals likely to show an early profit. i The current financial stringency was doubtless reflected in the number of ; ~ passings in both" divisions of stock, but - the sales that were effected showed -: ; that value was lecognised and that the Farm animals have a widespread t reputation. The sale was conducted by •' Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co., * Ltd., represented by Mr C. E. Bobert- > sun, a well-known stud,stock auctioneer. V The following lots were sold:— ?
