A COSTLY ERROR
PEDIGREE JERSEYS KILLED TREATED AT BONELESS VEAL. Auckland, Aug. 25. An extraordinary error occurred at Frankton Junction a few days ago A Te Aroha breeder consigned 10 pedigree Jersey heifer calves by rad to a purchaser at Makarau. North Auckland. When they reached Frankton the truck containing the Jerseys was connected with a train load of three-day-old calves which were en route to the Horotiu freezing works to be killed and prepared as boneless veal. The quality of the Jersevs was not noticed and they suffered the same fate as the calves which accompanied them. The sequel is a claim against the Railway Department for £l5O, the value the owner has placed on the pedigree Jerseys. Boneless veal js not a popular topic for discussion at the Frankton Junction railway station just now.
