MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Last year you will recall that we exceeded our previous record of sheep and lambs processed in any one season.

It is pleasing to record that the 1979/80 season has proven to be a highlight in the history of the Company with a record being achieve again for sheep and lambs and also cattle.

Today we have surpassed the 1978/79 season record of 2,220,965 sheep and lambs and on 3rd July 1980 we also exceeded our record cattle kill established in the 1975/76 season.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management I extend congratulations and thanks to all our staff for their wonderful effort in reaching this achievement.

M. E. GROOME
Chairman of Directors.
