Wairarapa’s Season
VWET weather in the Wairarapa has given rise to more foot-rot. in llocks than for a number of years past.
“We are having a bad time of: it with foot-rot,” a prominent farmer remarked. The very dry autumn, he added, saw many ewes with scalded feet and the wet weather which followed the winter had resulted in a fairly serious outbreak of foot-rot,.
Masterton stock agents confirmed these remarks regarding foot-rot, which apparently is fairly widespread. Generally speaking, lambs are not doing too well under the prevailing conditions, as they tend to lose their bloom and condition in continued wet weathpr. Up to three weeks ago lambs had been doing exceptionally well.
