BRENT KNOLL ENTRY

AN ARRESTING SEXTET

Bulls from proven dams only are retained at, Brent. Knoll by Mr. C. H. Washer. who from a lifetime experience of close study knows not only what each female is capable of doing but most important, whether she is capable of transmitting that production to her progeny. Breeders and dairy farmers looking for quality and butterfat production can therefore bid with confidence for either of the three yearlings or three two-year-olds that, represent, the Brent, Knoll annual consignment at Hawera this year. The three yearlings and two of the two-year-olds are by that aristocraticlly bred sire Kiteroa Gamboge Warrior purchased by Mr. C. H. Washer at the National. being the first son to come to Taranaki of that great C.B.B. Nancie's Svbil Gamboge. when 12 months old was sold at Hamilton for 400 guineas. Sybil Gamboge is probably the most prepotent bull that has ever been imported. being the highest C.B.B. in the Dominion if not in the world as his daughters have put up great records. notably Kiteroa Gamboge Goldi'e, 856.461b fat. and Kiteroa Gamboee Dariol. 836.141b fat. Kiteroa Gamboge Warrior is equally aristocratic on the bottom line for his dam. Kiteroa Gold Maid, with a record of 312.011b fat as two-year-old runner-up in Whangarei Oaks. is a daughter of Blonde's Victor (son of the imported Clarion), sire of nine C.O.R. daughters including show chamnions. out of Woodlands Elf. C.O.R. 506.591b fat as nine-year-old. a daughter of the imported Bright Sultan. worldfamous as the sire of (he world's champion four-year-old Woodlands Felicie. 12201b fat,. The dams of the three two-year-olds Brent Knoll Peer, Brent Knoll Socks and of the yearling Brent Knoll Guardsman are out of daughters of Hollybank Banker (incornorating 'he great. Bilberrv strain), his dam Bay View's Lass, having two C.O.R.'s of 5471b fat at four years and 6251b fat at seven years. One of these goes back to that great old cow brought to Taranaki by the late Mr. A. H. Halcombe. The yearling Brent, Knoll Airman carries two strains of Kiteroa Gamboge Warrior. his dam being bv that. great sire out of a daughter of Holly Bank Banker. The rcmaining yearling Brent Knoll Marshall is out of a dam that incorporates the strains nf Woott.m Red Buov (imnd (five C.O R. daughters up to 80fllb fat) on the paternal side and the Twylish blood on the maternal side. One t.wo-year-old.

Swan Dell Larrie's sire. Mean M.arcus. is also a ma+e'mal grandson of Pegvv's Squire (19 C.O.R. dau°b+ers). Swan Dell Larrie's dam.
