On this property approximately 40 - head of fat cattle are sold each year. Rainfall is 40-48 in. being much higher than most of Banks Peninsula. There are many acres of ) easily accessible firewood (Broadleaf and Black Pine), and numerous plantations of trees highly suitable for 3 fencing material. The farm •• has been developed to produce well under most adverse conditions, such as the recent two years of drought, i This property has fattened all lambs and has a high j percentage of lambing. The > recent establishment of Lucerne and Hay pastures has resulted in over 3000 bales of Hay being saved in the hard years, which no doubt readers will realise 3 that Hay on Banks PeninD sula is an excellent buv. The land has shown excellent results from Molybdic Super. There is no doubt that the carrying capacity L, could be considerably increased especially ’ with cattle, now that the winter requirements are provided for. It is to the advantage of incoming farmers that most of the hard and exr* pensive work of land clean- “ mg. fencing and topdressing has been completed. Farmed t, as one. these two properties show a very substantial income. and dviided into two it would make two excellent one-man units. We have no hesitation whatsoever in advising intending Purchasers to make arrangements with ~ the Auctioneers for an inspection at the earliest possible moment. 3 1..
