Description

John McCaw states that in 1902, Feilding claimed a North Island record for the number of sheep yarded at sale - 42,000. This was not eclipsed until the 1937 sale of over 50,000. This photo was probably taken during the record sale. The Feilding clock tower is visible in the background.

John McCaw appears in this 1974 Spectrum radio documentary about the Feilding saleyards, held by Nga Taonga - https://www.ngataonga.org.nz/collections/catalogue/catalogue-item?record_id=218046
