From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, June 1.
ANOTHER shipment of livestock for the P-NG Department of Agriculture arrived at Port Moresby, on May 31, from Australia. This lot consisted of five bulls, 120 heifers (mostly Shorthorns, but also some Jerseys and Red Polls), 25 horses and 16 Romney Marsh rams.
All the stock goes to the various Papuan livestock breeding stations, but private purchasers can buy from the Department.
The costs are certainly not low, but they are much less than if a private in dividual imported small numbers of stock.
All the worry and detailed paper work of importation and shipment is also avoided.
In a steady and unspectacular way the Animal Industry Division is doing a good job in importing new breeding stock and building up stud herds acclimatised to the various types of country in the Territory.
