EXPORTING YOUNG VEAL.
- MOVEMENT IN WAIKATO. [BY TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON. Friday The suitability of day-old calves as food is being recognised in the Waikato, where for many years the practice has been to destroy all unwanted calves. In this way thousands of young animals are destroyed every year. A number of settlers have considered means of exploiting the potential market for this class of veal, and an effort is being made to place the project on a business basis, and so establish another profitable adjunct to dairying. Arrangements have been made to purchase from July 1 all unwanted calves. Already 150,000 have been procured. These will be taken to_ the Horotiu eezing works, killed and'packed for export. The necessary permission has already been obtained to kill these calves and export the carcases for human consumption.
