QUIET DEMAND
HOROTIU STUD SALE DISAPPOINTING VALUES Considering the excellent breeding of the stock on offer, values realised at the annual sale of the Horotiu Milking Shorthorn Stud at the larui, Horotiu, yesterday, were disappointing. Of the 38 head on offer, many were sired by Horotiu Prince Bth., the cutstanding son of the great bull. Pine Farm Gem 4th., and on the score of breeding generally there was little to be desired. Some of the stock were showing the effects of the hard autumn, and this may have proved a handicap to competition. Shorthorn sales held recently in the Waikato have not proved as successful as last year s fixtures and yesterday’s poor demand was consequently not altogether surprising. Yearling bulls sold up to lGgns., this figure being given by Messrs Batkin Bros., of Tuakau, for an attractive son of Horotiu Prince Bth. and Horotiu Tulip 2. Heifers sold slowly, top money being 14gns. The sale was held on behalf of the Estate of R. D. DuxfTeld. the auctioneers being the Farmers’ Co-operative Auctioneering Company.
