HERD-TESTING.
INTERESTING C.0.1t. FIGURES. SYSTEM MAKING HEADWAY. Dealing with the value of herd-test-ing in the N.Z. Jersey Breedens’ Association it is stated‘that during the year ended December 31, 1924, certificates were gained by 674 animals under semi-official test.. Of these, 521 exceeded the minimum qualification by at least 1001 b of fat. The high standard set by the gold medal winners the previous year made it difficult to earn'the special prize of £lO for exceeding the previous highest record in any class, so that breeders had a big task before them to establish fresh records. In spite of this, two records were broken. Loo’s Queen, in the class for cows three years and up to four years, produced 797.321 b of fat, which was 56.121 b in more than the previous record. Viyandieie, m the 5-year-old and over class, produced 1036.091 b of fat, which was 25.61 b in excess of tiie previous record. Both these cows are owned by Mr A. Christie, Hikurangi. That the value of semi-official testing is being more widely recognised is evidenced by the fact that the number of certificates issued during the year show an increase of IGS over any previous year.
