DOMINION STUD SHEEP
BRITISH BREEDERS’ PLANS PURCHASE OF LINCOLN LAMBS Stud sheep breeders in many parts of the world are turning to New Zealand to-day for high-quality stock, and now a leading English sheepbreeder is purchasing New Zealand sheep to improve the quality of his flock. Mr Ernest St. C. Haydon, recently appointed stud stock manager to Dalgety and Company, Ltd., has received instructions from" Mr Clifford Nicholson, of Wellington Manor, Lincoln, to select and ship to England two of the best stud Lincoln rams obtainable in New Zealand. This means that New Zealand breeders will be supplying stud sheep to the very shire from which the breed originated. Mr Nicholson is regarded as one of the most successful British breeders and is the possessor of an outstanding flock. He hopes, with the infusion of the best New Zealand blood, to be able to produce the ideal type of sheep for the Argentine trade, where New Zealand sheep are beginning to threaten what was formerly an English monopoly.
This is believed to be the first time New Zealand breeders have been asked to supply stud animals to be placed at the head of a leading English flock.
