That is the first point. I want to get my head around this. I follow the kills in factories and over the last four or five years, even with all our genomics in dairy and beef, overall, we have lighter carcasses. Mr. Coughlan will probably be able to give me a breakdown between beef and dairy. If we want to talk about carbon, we are now killing four cattle to probably three going back eight to ten years ago to make up the same weight.

If we look at the quality, in terms of whether it is an O, P, U or whatever, the quality has gone down even with all our genomics. Could Mr. Coughlan explain that to me please?
