Board takes more lambs
■-N.2. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Feb. 22. The New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board is taking an increasing share of New Zealand's lamb kill, it announced in a statement.
Purchases from the beginning of the season on October 1 until the first week of February amounted to nearly 7 -5 m lamb carcases, the board said. This represented about 63 per cent of the total lamb kill up to this point. A board spokesman said, however, that the level of purchases for last week showed the board buying in about 80 per cent of the total kill.
Lamb purchased early in the season was not subject to the second 1c a pound of the British levy, although this was now in force.
The British market at present had also lost some of its bouyancy, and extra killing charges in New Zealand also had affected marketing, he said.
