HIS HAS GONE
Az far az Addington is concerned it would seem that the day of extra prime heavy wethers has gone, £ utch “’ are no . longer Interested in them. They cut into joints which are too big for the trade. Public demand
has switched to wethers dressing from 501 b to 601 b and cutting into small er joints. Thus, last year’s cull lambs, nicely fattened, are commanding a premium at Addingtop. It would appear that graziers will in future have to concentrate on buying smaller type store lambs so as to fit in with butchers’ requirements. A trend towards lighter-weight primes is also observable in the fat cattle pens at Addington.
