Record Horn Span.
A goat shot by Mr Norman Shepherd on Watarangi Station, Palliser Bay. has a horn span of 34 inches (states a message from Featherson). This is believed to be a record for a wild goat. The head is being mounten by a taxidermist in Featherston. Two other remarkable trophies of the chase at present in Featherston are the skins of two animals, stated to be crosses between sheep and goats, which were shot in the Tararuas by Mr Jack Shepherd. The skins have a multitude of colours running Hi rough the hair.
