DISPERSAL OF NEWTON KING'S

HEHD

There was a large attendance and spirited bidding yesterday (reports the News) at the dispersal sale of Mr Newton King's famous Wiilowvale herd of Holstein-Friesians, held on the farm at Bell Block. Buyers were present from all parts of the North Island, as well as from the South Island. All the cattle were for sale without reserve, and that the bidding was spirited is evidenced by the fact that the 75 lots submitted, which included 15 young calves, realised a total of £3942 15s. The buyers were well distributed, and the cattle will be spread over the whole of Taranaki, as well as the Thames Valley, Opotiki, Palmerston North, and Christchurch. The top price was realised by the four-year-old cow Bounty Maid Segis, which fell to R. Mugford, of Christchurch, at 200 guineas.i The same buyer also paid 100 guineas for Pietje Kitannora, besides purchasing several others. Mr James, of Bell Block, purchased the cow Segis Galatea at 195 guineas. Nazle Fayne Secris at 150 guineas, and Favne S^gis Belle 3rd at 100 guineas.
