The increased incentives to rear calves should reduce the rate of calf slaughterings and encourage the future expansion of beef production.
I wish to project this further into the forecasts of slaughterings over the next few months because these figures show that this decline still continues.
I have already quoted figures showing that slaughterings are increasing and that sales are going down.
The level of calf slaughterings during 1974 was two or three times greater than in the previous year.
What we need is better policing and better investigation at all times of the circumstances in which these movements and slaughterings take place.
