LOSSES AT LAMBING
I J Mr D. B. Thomas, of Rokeby, 1 has conducted his own survey of losses at lambing. He told farmers attending the winter farm f course at Rakaia, who visited his f farm this week, that he had found t that they amounted to 9 or 10 - per cent. “That sounds high but - I think that most farmers must e have about the same percentage," - he said. The losses usually involved mothers with twins with s one being dead. After the first week he said that losses were very small.'
