Between 160 and 170 stud station caU tie were sold on Monday and Tuesday at an average of 40 guineas or more, making a total of over £7OOO in these alone. One beast sold as high as 100 guineas. This sum was paid for an Aberdeen Angus, and a Hereford realised 61 guineas. Taking together stud cattle and those at the ordinary cattle fair, the total sales represented an aggregate of over £43,000. In addition, a further £2OOO changed hands at a stud Hereford sale when prices went to 140 guineas, bringing the total for five days’ selling to £45,000. Practically all the stud bulls were bought by Gisborne district stationowners, but most of the cattle at the fair on Saturday and on Thursday were bought by Waikato purchasers.
