AUSTRALIAN GRAZIER
Considers Southdowns Will Predominate BETTER MEAT BREEDS Dominion Special Service. Auckland, February 4. “In ten years’’ time 90 per cent, of export sheep from Australia will be Southdowns,” said Mr. B. J. Stocks, of Cootamundra, New South Wales, a prominent Australian fat lamb grazier, who arrived by the Aorangi. Mr. Stocks is visiting the Dominion to make a large purchase of stud sheep suitable for use in Australia. He was in the Dominion with the farmers’ party last year, hnd on that occasion bought a number of valuable sheep. “We realise we have far too many breeds of sheep in Australia and are now working away from the purely wool types,” he said. “Our future lies in definite steps to improve our meat breeds and work to this end has been in progress for some time.”
