Crawford Bros.

Crawford Bros., (John Yatman and Henry Edward Venner), Sheepfarmers, “Chelsfield,” Kaitawa, near Pahiatua. This splendid property of about 2000 acres is situated in the Mangaone Valley, and was taken up by the Messrs. Crawford in 1891. About 1700 acres are cleared and sown with English grasses. The stock is principally the Lincoln-Romney breed of sheep, and a few cattle are also bred on the farm. The homestead is a very comfortable building of five rooms, with outbuildings, woolshed and orchard.
