Mr Death, of Otaki, + his drover, young Murray from next door, came up to draft the bullocks bought last Tuesday – total 32, and lifted them. After dinner, Father, Jim, Clif + I rode up to North Block to see stock etc. The block is now looking rather bare but stock doing well. Foxgloves up in their thousands – a sickening sight. Bought home 30 of the 60 steers.
