LONG WOOL SHEEP
NEW ZEALAND’S CONSIGNMENT. STRICTER SUPERVISION URGED. Sydney, July 14. Complaint is made regarding the quality of long wools sent from New Zealand to the recent Sydney stud sheep sales. The Long Wool Breeders’ Association considers some Dominion sheep are far from creditable to the breeders and efforts will be made to secure stricter supervision by New Zealand bodies over the quality of exported animals. The sheep to which exception was taken had flock book registration certificates which, by arrangement between the Australians and New Zealand Associations, entitle the sheep to claim admission to the Australian register. The local association, however, decided to submit all imported sheep to the fullest examination before acceptance; therefore it is probable that recent consignments will be rigorously culled if not rejected.—Australian Press Association.
