Mr. John Murphy:

There is one other thing. For a number of years, we have been looking for some sort of help from the Government to reduce the age of slaughter quicker. There is a good case to be made for having some sort of stage payment on the animal to encourage farmers to have better weight gain earlier in its life. The reality with early slaughter is it cannot be achieved on an animal unless, in the first 12 to 18 months of the animal's life, particularly the first 12, there is good productivity gain to keep the animal moving. If you lose in the first 12 months, you rarely slaughter an animal at an early age.
