BEEF PRODUCTION in the foothills of Canterbury will have an increasing role to play in the meat production from that area. It is important that the mistakes and successes that some of us have made are discussed so that those starting out will be able to benefit from them. This paper covers the progress and problems of one area only, that of Mt Peel Station, which is situated on the south banks of the Rangitata River and covers an area of 7300 ha.
