Cattle and Sheep Tracks

The Committee suggested that steps should be taken by the respective Agricultural and Pastoral Associations to induce the Commissioners to introduce a better class of cattle and sheep trucks, as those now being manufactured are considered by many to be too large, for the reason that so many sheep placed in one compartment are far more liable to injury in transit to the market or factories. And the fact of the doors being placed in the middle of trucks, necessitates unnecessary handling of the stock.
