CATTLE FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
BOUGHT IN NEW ZEALAND.
LOCALLY BRED FRIESIANS.
By Telegraph —Press Association.
Wellington, May 16.
The Hon. Joseph Baynes, C.M.G., late Minister of Lands in the South African Government, who recently toured Australia and New Zealand, has purchased from the Cluny Friesian Farm Company, Wellington, the Friesian bull “Cluny King of Rock,” to replace the famous South African bull, “Admiral Beatty,” which was recently sold at auction for £7750. He also purchased from the same farm two Friesian heifers “Cluny Pietje Beauty,” and Cluny Pietje Kate 9th.”
These are the first exportations of New Zealand bred Friesian cattle from the Dominion, if not of any breed, of cattle from New Zealand to South Africa. The Friesian is the most popular of all breeds of cattle in South Africa where it has been developed to a very high pitch by the Dutch, and other farmers there. Hitherto all their importations of this breed have been from their place of origin in Holland and a few from England. It augurs well for New Zealand breeding that so important a selection by such an authority should have been made in this country.
