p. 100 · Read in the full issue
WHEN the Waitemata left Auck land early in April she car ried over 50 stud cattle, six Berkshire pigs and six Suffolk sheep, consigned to Tahiti. The stock was in care of veterinary surgeon Dr. Y. Pincemin and Mr.
J. Boubee, of the Tahiti Department of Agriculture.
The greater part of the shipment was for the Government. Mr. J. D.
Moore, of Auckland, and well known in Tahiti, arranged the sale.
Fifteen of the cattle—heifers and bulls —were for a private buyer, and were shipped by Messrs. Wright, Stephenson & Co.
Dr. Pincemin, director of stud breeding in French Oceania, said that he hoped now to start a Frei sian herd book.
A large amount of stud stock has been imported from New Zealand by Tahiti buyers since the war.
