Wanganui Chronicle, 17 January 1949, Page 8

EXPORT MEAT

KILLINGS MAY BE A RECORD Stock having moved slowly into the North island works in the early part part of the season, killings, of meat for export during the first three months of the current season, from October 1 to January 1, have been sii’htly below the figures for the same period last year.

Figures of freight carcases port prepared by the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board for the quarter, with those for the same quarter in 1947 in parentheses, are as follows :
