Response to P P Board Rate Notices Raises Concerns
P P Board secretary Mr D Growloat reported at last week’s meeting that rate notices posted February 18 to February 28 show current and arrears totals of 844 11 2. The general fund credit on that date stood at 856 10, with enough for two months working expenses. Delays in posting would have reduced the reserve to 11 and the fund to 174 1 11 by February 28. Crowfoot noted little income during the dry summer and warned revenue is inadequate to meet stock reserves needs.

Judge Praises Quality at Royal Show Cattle Judging
In comments from the judge, the judge noted the superior females over males in the cattle class. The champion cow was strong overall, especially its udder quality, while the reserve was hindered by being shown dry. The junior cow females also fared well in Royal Show competition, and the younger animals displayed good quality overall.
