A purchase of interest to Wairarapa cattlemen is that of a Hereford bull from the stud of Messrs Hutchinson Bros., “Waihuka,” Poverty Bay, made by Mr Robert Smith, of Waihenga, Martinborough, at the Gisborne annual bull sale. The entry of 28 Hereford bulls averaged 55 1-3 guineas. The highest price was 175 guineas paid by Mr Smith, the next highest being 120 guineas, 100 guineas .and 91 guineas. The bull purchased by Mr Smith is a very good specimen of the breed and was one of the Waihuka show team last year, as a yearling.
