HANDLING CRITICISED The judge (Mr G. Fields, Kumeu) commenting pn the show, said that while entries were well tip to.standard in quality, there was room for improvement in the handling of some of the bulls in the ring, particularly from a showmanship point of view. /There was also a good deal of room for improvement in the actual shmv ring, where conditions made it difficult to judge, and at the same time, were not to the advantage of exhibitors.

Mr Fields said that a larger and more level show ring was desirable. Speaking of the show events he said that the junior yearlings were a strong and even class.

' The senior yearlings also comprised a good class, the winner being a fine specimen. The standard in the two-year-old class was not as high as that of the previous two classes, but the winner, which won the championship ribbon, was outstanding in his class, being well finished, with a good deep body and clean lines. > About 350 buyers crowded into the marquee tent to see the sale commence. INTEREST QUICKENED Bidding started quietly and it appeared that the bulls may have been hard to sell, but interest quickened after the first 15 lots had been dealt with and bids came faster. The first really high price of the sale came when u.e 18th lot (G. and E. Worthington’s Midland Handsome Owl) was offered. Competition was keen for this splendid yearling, and the bidding romped along to reach IGOgn. This price was paid by Mr D. McCathie, of Ruakaka.
