Thoughts For The Times
Why Not Cum, the Herds ? Mr Singleton, Assistant Director of the Dairy Division, gives the average yield of New Zealand cows to be somewhere about 1601 bof butter fat per year. The champion cow of the British Empire, a New Zealand Friesian, has produced 9831 b of butter fat in a single season, while at least three New Zealand cows have produced over 9001 b of butter fat with very little special treatment. A good Jersey cow will yield from 3001 bto 5001 bof butter fat. These figures provide food for thought. The difference between 1601 b of butter fat and 3001 b would represent £l4 per cow per year for the season 1919-20 or £7OO difference in receipts from a herd of 50 cows.
