Twin Bull Calves At Ngahiwi.

Meon Kudos, the. Brampton Dreaming Sam cow which realised top price at Mr. C. H. Weston’s dispersal sale last year and finished her test with 6951 b fat, has just given birth to twin bull calves to the imported Brampton’s Volunteer’s Son. Inspected at Ngahiwi stud, of which she is now one of the matrons, Meon Kudos certainly presents a remarkable sight, giving every indication of a great producer. ’ Daisy Fern, by the imported Vagabond of Oaklands, the highest priced cow at Mr. E. Griffiths’ sale, also now domiciled at Ngahiwi, has also produced a splendid heifer calf. Ngahiwi stud also topped the market at the recent Waiwakaiho supplementary bull fair with a son of Ngahiwi Silent Knight C. 8.8., out of Ngahiwi’s Lassie (8171 b of fat); special gold medallist. This bull, too, remains in the district, the purchaser being Mr. A. Baker, Pukearuhe. At the same sale Mr. W. J. Freeth also purchased for the Ngahiwi stud Mr. E. J. Clough’s bull Cyrilla’s Twylish, whose full-sister is giving up to 791 b milk daily. The bull which Mr. Freeth is importing from America comes from the Island family that holds the milk record for the Jersey Island with 811 b fat daily.
