Bull Sale
•*Tbe Press" Special Scrrtce GISBORNE, Sept. 18. A total of 101 two-year-old bulls catalogued for the 31st annual Aberdeen Angus fair of the Gisborne Stud Beef Cattle Breeders’ Association proved to be a shade in excess of the market's needs. A few entries which should have brought 200gns or more were neglected toward the close of the sale. In the pre-sale show the honours were taken by J. C. L. Dowding with Everest of Rangatira. sired by Demand of Glenmark. This bull was sold later at 420gns, and two other sales from the same stud gave its master an average of 420gns for the day. Among the studs with more numerous offerings, Mrs E. Matthew's Te Ruanui sold 13 at an average of 301}gns, T. A. Witters averaged 282jgns for 14. Miss E. McLean 252gns for 10, and the Estate of D. P. Cameron lOlJgns for 21. The Mangatu stud, which took the show honours in 1965, took third and fourth places this year and for three bulls sold averaged 327gns. Mr J. Tylee, Waipukurau, who judged the show entries, said Everest of Rangatira was probably the best black bull he had seen offered at Gisborne.
