BEEF CATTLE
PRESENT .DAY NEEDS.
SMALL JOINTS ON TABLE.
AUSTRALIAN EXPERT'S VIEW. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, This DayLecturing at the Royal Show on the development of breeding in beef cattle, Dr. G. F. Findlay said it was predicted that the price of beef cattle would reach the peak within the next eight years, and would then probably come down considerably owing to over-pro-duction by the groat beef-eating countries of the world. He said the day of the big joint at the table had gone. Too much money was spent to-day in luxuries, therefore the housewife or flat-dweller ordered only the smallest joint, without fat, necessary for one meal. This held good in America, Europe, Great Britain and also, to a growing extent, in Australia. No economist ever expected anything in future but these small cuts of meat. The animals being produced in Australia were in many instances not suitable .for the markets of to-day. It would be difficult radically to change the feed for cattle in this country, but what .breeders should aim at was small, .neat, plump animals that would come ±0 maturity at between two and three .years of age.
