AN account of the ESTATE I.ATE SIR W. D. HUNT and MR. W. E- 1J L N'l’, Vz at Waitoru Downs, near Daere, Southland, New Zealand, on \\ EDN EbDAI, FEBRUARY 21. 19-10. a THIS OFFERING WILL COMPRISE; — 11.50 mixed-aged stud Romney ewes 430 one-shear stud Rumuey ewes 25 one-shear stud Romney ram> 20 mixed-age stud Romney ranis 40 two-shear flock Romney rams 300 one-shear dock Romney rams 25 specially-selected stud ram lambs 2050 N.B.—The remainder of the ram lambs, and the whole of the stud ewe lambs will be offered for sale without reserve iu 1941. THE WAITORU ROMNEY STUD was re-established in 1928 with a special selection of the best quality stud ewes yer, sold out of the famous Waiorongomai” (Mr. R. W. Matthews) and “Alloa” (Mr. Q. Donald) flocks and another selection from the same flocks was secured the following year. Additions of specially-selected ew es have been made annually from *'s\ aiorongomai. Ewes were also secured from Mr. Donald Macdonald’s “Edendale” Hock, which was built up largely from the old “Bainfield” (almost pure Waiorongomat blood) flock, and at the dispersal sale of Messrs. Murray Bros. “Clydevale flock and the “Castlerock” flock (Trustees late T. L. Barnhill). As ”Waiorongomai” blood predominated in all these studs, the “’Waitoru” Stud, can be said today to be practically pure “Waiorongomai” blood. This first sires used in the stud were secured from “Wairongomai,” and included the great breeding rain, M aiorongomai 25/2S, a son of the famous sire No. 4/21. This ram sired Waitoru 1.,/oU, generally admitted by leading North Island judges who have inspected the flock to be one of the best breeding rams in the Dominion. His darn was an Al.loa ewe of pure “Waiorongomai” blood. After being used with great success at “Waitoru” for six years, this ram was exchanged for one of the leading _sires at “Waiorongomai” and is now in service there. Several other sons of 25/28 have also been successfully used, and many notable sons of Waitoru 13/30 have also been used successfully in the stud, thus to a very great extent concentrating No. 4 blood. The type of sheep bred in the stud are bold, low-set. splendid-constitutioned sheep with great weight of bone and ideal covering. Buyers, therefore, have the opportunity of securing at this sale Romneys representing the best North Island type, but with the heavier bone and greater vitality for which Southland-bred sheep are so widely famous. It is worth noting that stud. rams exported from this stud to South America have given the utmost satisfaction. From the point of view of the Romney breed in Southland it is a tremendous loss. that this stud, due to the death of the late Sir ’William Hunt, should now be dispersed. Last year there was commenced the first of what was intended to be annual sales, of the stud and flock rams, and these attracted widespread, attention. In addition to local buyers, stud rams were purchased by Sir William 'Perry, of the Penrose Stud. Mr. R. W. Matthews, of the Waiorongomai Stud, and for the Alloa Stud of the late Quentin Donald. As the result of the sale “’Waitoru” flock rams were also distributed over a wide area of the Dominion and have given satislaction wherever they have gone. No private sales will be made prior to the dispersal and all sheep will be for unreserved sale. This sale affords many breeders an opportunity to secure almost pure “Waiorongomai” breeding stock which is almost unprocurable from the foundation flock.
