Continuing High Standard

The continuing high standard of lamb breeding in this district was very evident at this year's Export Lamb Competition conducted by the A. and P. Association. The guest speaker, Mr A. Holland, who is manager of the Westfield Freezing Works indicated that the Gisborne lambs were the best he had seen in the Auckland district this season.
