Overview
Wed. Apr.8
Showery day. Drove 40 well bred forward bullocks to Levin sale (these consist of the 32 at £5.17.6 purchased 3 weeks ago + 10 of the polled angus steers which have been running on the South Block) + we got £6.17.6 for them. Mr J.R. McDonald had in a large number of breeding ewes + I purchased 100 6-tooth Romneys at 16/10 + 50 5 tooth d[itt]o at 17/10. I expect to cull out 40 for fattening + use the rest for breeding. We had a very busy day + did not have time to get afternoon tea. I brought my ewes to "Cheslyn Rise" + left them in Swamp p[addock].
