NOTE: The Puketoi Station property has been subdivided and all sold, and it is for this reason that this well- ; known Merino Stud Flock is to be dispersed. - '■ • The Puketoi Stud was- founded In ' 1859, and was registered in 1895, being one of the firs cto register. The foun- ! dation of the Flock was brought about ; by the purchase of. Stud sheep from the leading breeders of Tasmania, sires , bred by the owner being also'used, at , that time. In 1868, when the late' Wa- i son Shennan acquired' the property.. Sires were imported, from the best Studs in Tasmania and Victoria, these including the Trustees of the late James. Gibson,. Mr J. Taylor, of Tasmania, .the Hon. T. Begg and Mr P. Russell; of Victoria.’ Since then, under capable management, combined with judicious ; culling and the continuous introduction of new bipod from Australia, the Puketoi Flock has- reached a high standard.. It is interesting to note that during the last 30 years over 12,000 Rams have been sold. Frequent exportations of Studs have also been I made to overseas' countries, Including S’puth America, South Africa, and India, The puketoi Wool, which has on many occasions topped the New Zealand market, and also the London market when shipped there, is always bright, well grown, and of exceptionally soft handle for New. Zealand Merinos. The ■ quality ranges from 64 to 70’s.
