Bull Sale by the Sea

One of the season's notable events in the farming world of the East Coast is the annual bull sale at the historic Turihaua homestead of Mr H. B. Williams, a few miles north of Gisborne. Here, as 72 bulls changed hands for 19,450gns recently, "Photo News" took these pictures of the locale, the buyers, and the bulls, in the picturesque setting of a famous station set by the sea.

The homestead itself, screened by trees so that it is not visible from the coast road nearby, is seen above in its beautiful surroundings of lawns, trees, and flower-beds.
