LIGHT LAMBS
1 was to a farmer some time ago on light lambs, and he said f rouble was there were too many back - c ountrv station owners on the J?® 3 / H Boa s r The season has now started, and I understand they are killing lambs as low as 271 b, which seems a waste. If lamb weights were brought U h f to 451 b would mean about 100,000 tons more meat, and England wants it. The difference between a leg of lamb of 36 to 451 b would not be more than 11b, and • I cannot see English butchers making any reduction in the price This matte? concerns New Zealand as much as England, and there does not seem much patriotism in those responsible. I put it to the farmers ana people generally that this wants looking into.—Yours, etc., KT . NOT A FARMER. November 8, 1954.
