BUTCHERS CONCERNED
High Prices For Fat Cattle
By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, February 23. Butchers are concerned at the extra ordinary prices they had to pay for beef at the Westfield fat stock sale to-day. For the second week in succession prime ox beef made up to 42s per 1001 b, the highest price realised at this time of the year in the memory of’ dealers over a period of twenty years. Values reached this level in the spring, 1930, but then, as in every later season, they receded in the New Year. The present scarcity of fat cattle appears to be due to the activity, of exporters, who have been buying cattle for chilling.
