In the Dominion it. has bred and exhibited many famous Royal and other Champions. Rams have been sold to Australia at prices ranging up to 600 guineas. Australian and Sydney Royal Championships have been won by Mahua bred sheep. Innumerable other prizes have been won there by sheep imported from Mahua or by sheep hrod from rams and ewes from the flock. Important orders have been fulfilled for leading breeders of Romneys in Argentine, Uruguay, Chili, Falkland Islands, United States, California, Mexico, South Africa, etc, and to practically every State in the Commonwealth. Year after year, leading breeders throughout New Zealand have bred from Mahua sires. The complete and unreserved dispersal sale of the stud now presents 'the finest opportunity ever offered to Romney breeders to secure the best of the breed.

The flock is one of the Largest in tho Dominion, comprising:— 950 STUD EWES, each with individual pedigree. 25 STUD SIRES. 25 STUD RAM HOGGETS. 25 STUD EWE HOGGETS.

We would impress upon breeders here and overseas that this is the first occasion in the history of the breed in recent times that one of its top llocks lias been dispersed in its entirety.

The dock has now been thrown open to the Inspectors of tho N.Z. Romney Marsh Breeders' Association for inspection and report. No Hock has been more heavily culled annually.
