A consignment of 200 three-year-old Black Polls, fattened on the Galatea Estate, was sold to an export firm last week for the chilled beef trade. The price paid was £ll a head at Galatea. Since last August 600 chilled beef cattle have been sold at Galatea, the lowest price realised being £ll. Heavy purchases of cattle have been made for the estate this year, and there are now 7000 head of cattle on the area. They include 600 head of dairy stock, and 1000 run cattle. Between 3000 and 4000 head are being fattened. In addition to the cattle there are 16,500 sheep and 8000 lambs at Galatea. The recent wool clip totalled 400 bales. Development is still proceeding, and 3000 acres of new grass have been laid down while 1000 acres have been sown in swedes.
