THE RESULTS of a major lamb industry survey, covering processors in three states, have just been released by NSW Agriculture. The survey of meat processors handling NSW lamb was conducted for NSW Agriculture's Sheep Meats sub-program. The survey covered 23 domestic and export meat processors, who kill about 102,000 lambs in a normal week. Included were Victorian and South Australian processors who bought lambs from NSW suppliers. Key complaints from processors included poor market reporting, uneven saleyard lines, inability to meet specifications, continuity of supply, carcase ticking and alleged substitution of mutton for lamb.
