MASTERTON SHOW LAMBS

' UNFAVOURABLE SEASON. AFFECTS STANDARD Messrs Henry S. Fitter & Sons report as follows on the class of 42 lambs sent to them from the 1938 show of the Masterton A. & P. Association. “This was rather a disappointing class, not being up to the usual standard from the show, no doubt the unfavourable season being responsible. First: Wairarapa Training Farm. Pen 379. (Ist at Show). Three very good well-bred lambs, full of meat, and not too fat Short legs, good backs and thick shoulders, and in our opinion the most suitable for London trade. Second: C. C.
