Incidents have been quoted frequently in an endeavour to show it is impossible for a farmer to determine with any degree of accuracy which cows should be culled as worthless, unless he has the aid of herd testing figures with regard to the whole of his herd. A typical example, of this is provided by a Poverty Bay farmer who decided to cull a cow inclined to beefiness, but put her under test before doing so. He found, however, that this cow was by no means a “dud,” and that by the end of the season she had produced 39811 b. of butterfat.
