Australian lamb slaughterings up 1%
22/05/2003
For the first quarter of 2003, Australian national lamb slaughter increased 1% to 4.3 million head, compared with 2002.
Yet during the three months ended March 31, 2003, slaughterings declined in the country’s two largest lamb producing states of New South Wales (-6%) and Victoria (-0.2%). Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) attributes the drought for the decline.
