AUCTIONEER’S NOTE.—We have inspected the above cows and find them to be a particularly choice lot. they are all in wonderful order and] condition, carrying their 2nd to 6th I calves, and due August and September. When establishing this herd Mr. Easton used a top Horn bull, the progeny of which he crossed with a selected Major Wilson Friesian bull, and since then the best of ped. Jersey sires have carried on, the latest purchase being from Mr. D. B. Rowe, a bull which is to be sold, at the sale. The herd has been regularly tested for the past 12 years and through this medium any animal not up to stand-1 ard has been culled. Only heifers from the highest-producing dams have been retained for replacements. The records put up last season were 348 lbs of fat, factory returns, and 358 lbs. fat herd test, which is a truly remarkable feat, taking into consideration the adverse conditions ruling at that time. Clients in search of good-constitution-ed. high-producing stock, can attend this sale with confidence. Furthermore, cattle off this Foxton country will improve wherever taken. Individual calving dates and records will be given. All implements and milking plant are offered subject to a slight reserve. Light Luncheon.
