W. Matthews) and “Alloa” (Mr Q. Donald) flocks, and another selection from the same flocks were secured the following year. of specially selected ewes have, been made annually from. “Waiorongomai.” Ewes were also secured from Mr Donald Macdonald’s “Edendale” flock, which was built up' largely from the old “Bainfleld” (almost pure “Waiorongomai” blood) flock, and at the dispersal sale of Messrs Murray . Bros.’ “Clydevale” flock arid the “Castlerock” flock (Trustees late T. L. Barnhill). As “Waiorongomai” blood predominated in all these studs, the “Waitoru” Stud can be said to-day to be practically pure “Waiorongomai” blood.* The first ■ sires used in the' stud were secured from “Waiorongomai” and included the great breeding ram Waiorongomai 25/28, a son of the famous sire No. 4/21. This rain sired Waitoru 13/30, generally' admitted by I leading North Island judges who i have inspected the flock to be one of the best breeding rams in the Dominion. His dam was an Alloa ewe !of pure “Waiorongomai” blood. Alter being used with great success at “Waitoru” for six years, this rarfi was exchanged for one of the leading sires at, “Waiorongomai.” and is now in service there. Several, other sons of 25/28 have also been successfully used,' and many notable sons of Waitoru 13/30 have also been used successfully in the stud, thus to very great extent concentrating No. 4 blood. The type Of sheep bred in the stud are bold, low set, splendid constitutioned sheep, with great weight of bone and ideal covering.

It is worth noting that stud rams exported from this stud;to South America have given the utmost From the point - of- view of the Romney breed in Southland it is a tremendous loss that this stud, due to the death of the late Sir William Hunt, should now be dispersed. Last year there was commenced the first of what was intended to be annual sales of the stud and flock rams, and these attracted widespread attention. In addition to local buyers, stud rams Were purchased by Sir William Perry of the Penrose Stud, Mr R. W. Matthews, of the Waiorongomai Stud, and for the Alloa Stud of the late Quentin Donald. As the result of the sale "Waitoru” flock rams were also distributed over a wide area of the Dominion and have given satisfaction wherever they have goney_ No private sales will be made prior to the dispersal, and all sheep will be for, unreserved sale. ' 1 This sale affords many breeders an opportunity to secure almost pure “Waiorongomai” breeding stock wjjich is almost unprocurable from the foundation flock. * I. “ , For Catalogues and further information, please communicate with the auctioneers.
