PEDIGREE STOCK

SALE AT HERIOT. DR. PICKERILL’S HERD. On Friday Messrs Wright Stephenson and Co., Ltd. held a dispersal sale of Dr. Pickerill’s well known Jersey herd at the “Meadows Fann,” Heriot. The sale of the herd, which included a number of cows and bulls bred from stock with great butter fat production records to their credit, attracted farmers from all parts of Southland and from centres as far north as Masterton. The top price obtained was for Holly Oak’s Rose, (dam) Grannie’s Knight, (sire) Rose Royal, this cow being purchased at 101 guineas by Messrs Wright Stephenson and Co, Invercargill as agents. Holly Oak’s Rose has never been beaten in a show ring and as a junior two-yea’-old she produced 386 lbs butterfat. Both her sire and her dam have produced many great butter-fat cows in the North Island, chief among which is Holly Oak Annie—a daughter of Grannie’s Knight—which has a butter-fat record of 1,056 lbs to her credit. For Holly Oak Tiny sired by Grannie’s Knight from Treasure’s Dot, 70 guineas was obtained, the purchaser being Mr D. M. Galbraith, Tahakopa.* When tested as a three-year-old Holly Oak Tiny gave 541.1 lbs of butter-fat. Her dam was sired by Soumise Tom, which has also produced many notable butter-fat cows. Mr Galbraith also paid 70 guineas for Meadows Daisy Royal, rising four-year-old, whose sire is a double grandson of that great cow Sultan’s Daisy with a record of 968 lbs of butter-fat. Meadows Daisy Superior, who was also sired by Meadowvale General Daisy, realised 81 guineas and was purchased by Mr J. A. Johnston, Waikaka Valley.
