THIS time 40 years ago in Stock Journal, the year had been dry and a fire in the Mid North affected 17 properties, killed livestock and destroyed more than 500km of fencing.
The SA Stud Beef Cattle Field Days was on, followed by bull and production sales, which included a special Poll Hereford female sale at Penola.
The first annual special Murray Grey fat cattle sale was also held in Naracoorte, while Spotshill Poll Herefords had a weaner sale near Kingston SE.
