THE best weeding gang we’ve ever had,” is how Mr. O. Bergin, manager of the Fairymead Sugar Company’s BSI interests, described a shipment of 400 head of New Zealand cattle which were landed at Yandina (Russell Islands) last week from the New Zealand LST “Rawhiti.”
Only two cows succumbed to the sea trip and one became a casualty after landing, allegedly through a long and mis guided drink of salt water. These mis haps were more than balanced by several calves born on the way and on arrival, with plenty more expected.
The cattle lost no time in attacking the plantation undergrowth, which is for midable in areas not yet tackled by hand.
