9. 150,000 cattle were still alive on 9th December, 1941, which should have been dead and eaten, had conditions been normal. 10. The Conference on Live Stock Policy in its 3rd Report recommended a reduction of the beef cattle population to 70 per cent. of its 1940 numbers by September 1941. Its advice was not acted upon, and the number was 86.6 per cent. To this excess we owe the irrecoverable loss of 17,000 tons of beef. 11. The adequacy of the food supplies for the population of beef cattle existing on 4th December, 1941, is in doubt and should be investigated anew.
