[Pedigree Shorthorns to the number of M are entered by the well-known North Taranaki breeders, Messrs R. Turnbull and Son, Sentry Hill. These bulls have all got a full, extended pedigree, which is liow in the auctioneer's hands, and these pedigrees can be inspected at the auctioneer's ±\ew Plymouth ojlice.
