Subsequent to the sale of cows mentioned in the accompanying report on new dairy/beef cattle for tropical use, a sale of breed ing stock was held at the CSIRO cattle field station at Badgery’s Creek, NSW. Eight bulls from the two small herds of 10 Red Sindhis and eight Sahiwals were sold at prices reflecting the tremendous interest the new breeds are winning.
