Farmers Should Consult N.Z. Sire Survey Register
If a new sire will be required for a herd this year, the Department of Agriculture recommends that inquiries be made now. The New Zealand Dairy Board issues a Sire Survey and Merit Register which gives the production of the daughters of all dairy sires which have been surveyed. Unfortunately very few progeny-tested sires are available, but the register should bb' consulted and wherever possibles a son of a proven sire should be selected.
Bull catalogues are issued annually by the Herd Improvement As-_ sociation and these, too, should prove of considerable value to dairy farmers who are looking for herd sires.
