About 35 per eent., or £79,000,000 of the total of
£225,330,000 is accounted for by the sale of live stock. The
production of live stock for meat is the most valuable section
of agricultural production, whilst the second place is taken by
the milk and dairy produce which, with an estimated selling
value of £57,600,000, accounts for 26 per cent. of the whole.
If to this we add poultry and eggs (£15,000,000) and wool
(£3,000,000) we get an aggregate value of £155,000,000 for live
stock and livestock products, or nearly 69 per cent. of the total
output of the agricultura] industry. It will be understood that
these figures, which represent the estimated sums received for
the finished products, have to cover the cost of growing those
corn, root and fodder crops used for feeding to stock. Consequently
 the value of the crops thus used is not included among
the farm crops referred to in the next paragraph.
