Entries compare well with a usual show
Entries for this year’s Canterbury A. and P. show are naturally down from those of last year, when the Royal Show was held at Christchurch, but they compare well with a usual show. With one exception, the livestock sections have shown increases on the last comparable show, 1976. The list is:
1978 1977 1976 Sheep 1605 2037 1556 Cattie 696 1056 676 Pigs ■ 135 281 218 Horses 1527 1931 1524 Goats . 48 54 18 Dog trials 45 64 98 Cooking and wine .. 218 289 311 Handcraft ... 153 186 197 Wool .. 60 128 57 Implements . 31 50 12 Shearing 85 92 84 Total 4603 6168 4751
