MARKETING OF BEEF
BASrC PRICE FAVOURED SALES ACCORDING TO WEIGHT (P.A.) INVERCARGILL, June 1. A proposal that cattle for the local meat market should be purchased by weight instead of at auction was placed before a meeting of Southland cattle graziers this afternoon. The meeting approved of the scheme, and also supported a suggestion that the basic price for beef should be increased. A vote of the graziers was unanimously in favour of the scheme. Support was also accorded the Farmers’ Union representations for a basic price of £2 per 1001 b for prime beef, with weekly increments of 9d a week from the beginning of June to a maximum of £2 12§. and a reduction to the basic price in December.
