Successful two-day show concludes at Timaru

(From Our Own Reporter) TIMARU, November 1. The Timaru Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s show was in many respects a success. Expressing delight at the attendances on the second day, the secretary (Mr B. R. Malcolm) said this had been budgeted for. Higher admission charges, associated with the fact that a vintage car display and rodeo had proved to be a popular “swan song,” indicated that revenue would be not far short of that of last ydar (when SI 144 was received over two days). Gate takings in 1970 totalled $1276.

The champion beef animal, Shrimptons Hill Brigadoon, a 15-month-old yearling Hereford bull, weighing 12151 b, was bred and exhibited by Mr H. P. McKerchar, of Cannington. The yearling was sired by last year’s champion-of-cham-pions (Bushy Downs N 14) which was exhibited by Mr McKerchar's brother and show president, Mr A. L. McKerchar, and bred in the North Island by Mr M. P. Port.

Shrimptons Hill Brigadoon also won the Hereford Cattle Breeders’ Association Challenge Cup for best animal of the breed and a special trophy for dollar-eaming capability.
