1 A. Yes.
2
3 MR. MORRIS: So it is more likely in the winter months they will
4 get concentrated?
5 A. Yes, especially in the winter months they are
6 supplemented with hay, could be grass and a little bit of
7 grain, just to supplement to keep them through the winter.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Shall we have the break now?
10
11 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
12
13 (Short Adjournment).
14
15 MR. MORRIS: If we go to your statement, I cannot remember what
16 number it is, it is your appendix with the World Beef
17 Production, North American Beef Production graph. Do you
18 remember?
19 A. Yes.
20
21 Q. Behind your statement.
22 A. Yes.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is at the back of 4.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: Yes, because you did not look at this before in
27 your evidence-in-chief. So, North American beef production
28 in 1992 is something like a third, yes, of the whole world
29 beef production? Is that correct? Is that wrong? Sorry,
30 a quarter.
31
32 MR. RAMPTON: Are we talking about the USA or what? It is less
33 than a quarter.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: I will start again.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I appreciate the fact that you are trying to
38 get through it quickly, but identify which one it is
39 because, as Mr. Rampton has pointed out, that includes
40 Canada and Mexico.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: Have you got this one, Dr. Gomez Gonzalez?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. So North American beef production is approximately 13,000,
46 just less than 13,500 in 1992, correct?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. And the world production in 1992 was about 50 million --
50 sorry, we are talking about millions here ----
51 A. Yes.
52
53 Q. 13 million metric tonnes as part of the world production of
54 50 million metric tonnes for the whole world?
55 A. Yes.
56
57 Q. Something like that. If we just stick to your statement as
58 we have got it out. We can quickly whip through it. On
59 those graphs North America is defined as the US, Canada and
60 Mexico, yes?
