Tusks for display
A collection of 400 wild boar tusks and jawbones will be exhibited in Christchurch next week.
They are the fruit of 50 years of wild pig sticking in Canterbury and Marlborough by Mr C. Broadhurst, aged 66 years, of Beach Road, Kaikoura. The bones will be displayed in a Bishopdale department store during New Zealand’s first hog-calling contest —at the Bishopdale shopping centre on Thursday and Friday next week.
More than 20 pigs are expected to take part in the contest. They will run for a special trophy, presented by C.F.M. Sales, Ltd, for the "fastest hog in New Zealand.” It will be competed for annually. Breeds entered include Berkshires, White Landrace, Wessex, Saddleback, Tamworth, and “Captain Cookers.”
