BOBBY CALF TRADE
ALTERNATIVE SOUGHT A decision to ask the Auckland executive of the Farmers’ Union to investigate the possibility ot some more profitable and useful method of dealing with calves other than selling them as bobby calves was made at a meeting of the Whangarei sub-provin-cial executive of the union. Mr. K. M. Stevens, who moved the resolution, contended that the bobby calf trade was both uneconomic and cruel, and it should bo possible to deal with calves in the same way as pigs. He suggested that if the farmers fed the calves properly they would be more valuable sold as vealers at from, say, six months old. Farmers would ultimately regret selling bobby calves.
