IT'S IN THE BLOOD...
HE British pedigree livestock industry is discussed in Blood Will Out, a BBC programme to be heard from 2YA at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday, July 11, and later from other National stations, There are 15 separate breeds of horses and ponies, 24 breeds of cattle, 33 breeds of sheep and 12 breeds of pigs indigenous to the British Isles, and the programme includes the views of experts on the breeding of sheep, cows and pigs. The secretary of the British Livestock Export Group tells how the group was organised to overcome the physical difficulties of getting animals to their new homes overseas; and L. E.

The livestock breeder, the exporter, the buyer and the stock farmer all give their own pictures of various aspects of the industry.

The Aberdeen Angus bull. shown in the illustration, was supreme champion at a recent Perth Show, and brought 7000 guineas at the show auc-tion-its destination, the Argentine.
