GISBORNE SHEEP
STILL FEARS OF ECZEMA NO DEMAND FROM WAIKATO MANY CATTLE BEING MOVED [by telegraph—OWN correspondent] GISBORNE, Wednesday There is still no demand in Poverty Bay for breeding ewes on forward delivery to the Waikato and indications continue to point to the assumption that practically all mobs going north early in the coming year will be on consignment. Waikato farmers appear content to wait until they can ascertain whether conditions point to a further outbreak of facial eczema in the autumn. If such conditions rule Gisborne farmers may find difficulty in securing markets in the Auckland Province. In the meantime large numbers of cattle continue to travel between Gisborne and the Waikato and yesterday approximately 1200 were counted on the road between Motu and Tekaraka. It has been suggested that Waikato farmers may turn their attention to fattening cattle until February, when a decision can be reached as to whether it will be more profitable to continue with cattle or revert to sheep.
