Poultry Stud Sale Draws Wide Attendance At Sydney Markets
The late Mr John Brown's world famed poultry stud sale at Sydney Markets drew buyers from across Australia except Western Australia. 697 birds offered, total sale value just over £1000, top price £10 for a black orpington cock. Stud WREYS sold to £7 5d and bred stock to 43s 8d. The owner paid high prices to assemble the collection. A broadcast of these elite birds may lift Australian stock quality. Also noted are Sir William Watson's death leaving £219,841 and substantial death duties.
