Sunderland Shorthorn Sale Proves Success The December sale of Ontario County Shorthorns held at Sun- derland, Friday, under manage- ment of Jack Baker, Hampton, proved that demand for good breeding stock, even late in the year, was the equal of earlier sales, with prices generally in ac- cord. The average of $21 1.00 per head was almost identical with the Blue Ribbon Sale held a month bef.re af Blackstock. Off ered at Sunderland were 12 choice young breeding bulîs and 12 females, some with calves at foot. They were contributed fromn oufstanding Ontario and Durham herds and the buyers generally1 were fromn Ontario County. As at Blackstock, a feature was the number of new farmers who bought to improve herds and es- tablish themselves in the Short-i horn business. Ted Jackson, Port Perry, was auctioneer. Top price for a bull was $350 and for a female, $335 which indi- cates the uniformity of prices in the cafalog list. Lyall Gray, Cold- water, was top buyer, taking two head af $625. In ail there were 17 individual buyers which is in- dicative of wide demand. Of further interest to Short- horn men is the report on the ne- cent Chicago Congress Show and sale f0 which were sent 20 select- ed Ontario Shorthorns. W. A. Dry4len and Son, Brook- lin, had the high selllng Canadian bull at $ 1,500, also the top selling female at $2,100. Beath Farms, Oshawa, sold a yearling heifer at $1,000 and a bull at $700.
