RANDOLPH - The new meat control order, which has been made to achieve a more equitable distribution of meat by limiting the amount of meat slaughtered on farms and consumed in producing areas, affects Sherwood’s meat market, local wholesale and retailers of meats and products of meat and the local market’s quota of pork and beef slaughter will be cut.
On Feb. 27 the slaughter quota for pork was cut at the local market by 50 percent, and there will be no further reduction in the slaughter quota for pork here at this time. The new meat control order cuts the beef slaughter quota 25 per cent.
Under the new program, all non-Federally inspected slaughterers are classed as No. 2 Slaughterers, and are required to register with the District OPA office by May 14, in order to secure a permit and quota. This quota is based upon the amount of meat slaughtered the same months of 1944, and from month to month a quota percentage is issued, depending on the available livestock.
