     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.

     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?
