GOOD LAMBING SEASON
NORTH ISLAND ESTIMATES Lambing estimates in the North Island for the current season are estimated at 90.74 per cent —the highest since 1933, when the season’s estimate of 91.23 per cent proved slightly better than the actual lambing. From information supplied by the various inspectors of stock the average rate of lambing for the current season in North Island flocks is estimated at 90.74 per cent, compared with 89.1 per cent in 1940. The following is the estimated North Island percentages this season: —
Results for recent seasons are:—
Previous estimates have for some years under-estimated the actual number of lambs tailed. In the last three years actual tailing were:—l94o, 9.510,608; 1939, 9,476,617; 1938, 9,034,385. It is ‘probable, therefore, that the record total of 1940 will be exceeded this season.
