The types and economics of each contract for export animals are
discussed and examined from the advisers' and farmers' view. The good
returns in 1982 for rearing of qualifying Friesian heifers calves are
indicated together with the various margins for Sahiwal options. Data
is presented from a survey which has shown an adoption rate for the
Sahiwal scheme of 22% with 66% of adopters continuing with it. Reasons
for non-adoption are discussed, as are also industry considerations of
this recent and developing market, particularly those affecting dairy
processing and the domestic market for dairy heifers.
