SHOW BULLOCK INJURED.
FINE TYPE OF HEREFORD. [BY TELKGRArH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] TAURANGA. Tuesday. A fine four-year-old Hereford bullock which Messrs. Tanner Brothers intended exhibiting at the Royal Show at Auckland met with a miship in the paddock, an eye being injured, apparently by a horn of another animal. The injury precluded exhibition and the bullock was killed at the Tauranga abattoirs yesterday. The dressed weight was 14281b. and it is estimated that the live weight of tho beast was about 20001b. , The carcase was a magnificent one and furnished striking testimony of the fine fattening qualities of land in Maketu Riding. The bullock was purebred. It was reared on Mr. Robert King's farm, near Maketu, and was sold to Tanner Brothers who exhibited the animal for two years at the Te Puke Show, where it was awarded first prize on each occasion for the best Hereford bullock.
