HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 c2520W
Mr. KILBRIDE

asked the Food Controller whether a calculation has been made showing how much weight a fat grass-fed bullock, 12 cwt. live weight, fit for slaughter from 15th October to 5th November, will lose per month or week when obliged to be kept on bare pasture during November and December, no cake or other feeding-stuff being available to keep the beasts in condition; and can he say what deterioration in grade will take place?

Major ASTOR

The calculation suggested is of too hypothetical a character to be usefully made.
