STUD SHEEP SHIPMENTS

Further shipments of stud sheep to Australia have been made lately and it now appears certain that a very good market has been established for New Zealand bred sheep in the Australian States, more especially South Australia where, this year, the majority of the stud sheep have been forwarded. Recent shipments to Melbourne and Sydney cover Romney. Southdown, Border Leicester, and Corriedale sheep which have mostly come from the Canterbury, Manawatu, and Wairarapa Districts. Consignments through the Stud Stock Department of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., have included a number of stud Ryeland ewes ex Mr. W. G. Shannon. Palmerston North, to Mr. H. G. Gorbold, of Syd-

ney, and stud Romney Ewes ex Messrs. Voss Bros.. Longburn, to Mr. R. Wardle, of Brim, Victoria. Romney sheep for South Australia have been selected from the studs of well known breeders including Messrs. Voss Bros., Longburn: R. W. Matthews, Featherston; J. A. Mitchell, Longburn; and P.lair and Sons, Maxwell, while Corriedales and Border Leicesters have been selected from the following notable Canterbury flocks; estate of the late H. T. Little, Hawarden; Messrs. David Sidney, Hawarden; James Reid, Darfleld; M. McGreggor, Dunsandel; W. O. Rennie, Doyleston; and L. E. Myers of Oxford.
