Abstract:
The dominant position of the cattle industry in the national economy
does not need to be stressed. The 1.5 million cows and 14,000 bulls in the
country and their progeny are both the raw material for much of the output
of our farms, and the agency through which much further raw material
is processed into marketable products. The output of meat, dairy produce
and livestock which derives from this population of animals makes up a
half of the total output of agriculture, and two-thirds of all agricultural
exports.
