Little Brothers
Little Brothers , “Rocklea,” Ngapara. Messrs Little Bros., the well-known Border Leicester breeders, established their flock in 1877, by the purchase of two rams and six ewe lambs from the flock of Messrs Gillies and Street, for whom their father was manager at the time. This small flock of young and well-selected sheep became, in careful and experienced hands, the foundation of wel-deserved success. When exhibiting at different shows, in 1896, Messrs Little won, in good company, six championships, sixteen first, seven second, and four third prizes.
