Export Meat Killings From New Zealand Show Big Increase
Wellington, this day.
Export meat killings for the period October 1, 1949, to April 1, 1950, show an increase of 10,068 tons over the corresponding period for last season, states the New Zealand Meat Producers Board. To make up for the drop in average weights between the two seasons, approximately 200,000 extra lambs will need to be killed this season to maintain the same tonnage of this class of meat as last season. At the moment this position has been achieved, and there is every reason to expect that it will be maintained.
Killings of wethers and ewes are balancing out with last season, wethers less than, the previous year. Quarter beef and pig meat tonnages are showing satisfactory increases over' last season’s figures of 5,000 tons, and 1,000 tons lyExport killings to April 1 for New Zealand, with those for previous season in brackets are:—
Lambs 9,395,231 (9,216,202); wethers 427,584 (318,960); Ewes 1,594,939 (1,682,234); beef 188,215 (130,249 v Pigs 161,241 (156,479).
