Taylor, Fairlie (Perendales) and C. Darling, Darfield (Coopworths). The judging is over two days. On the first day, February 4, judging starts at Mr G. C. Harper’s property at Te Oka at 8.30 a.m. Those involved in the inspection will also visit properties at Little River, the Hilltop, Pigeon Bay, and several eastern bays. The next day the first farm visited is Mr P. B. Parkinson’s at Kaituna. From there the itinerary takes in Gebbies Pass, Purau, Port Levy, and Pigeon Bay. ....
