For about 37 years Ngahiwi has been breeding Jerseys, firstly grades, then pedigrees. During that long period some wonderful butterfat sires have been used, the first being a son of Mr. A. Watkins' famous old cow Cherry, 261b butter a week, hand skimming, The next herd sire was Swastika Conqueror from the same family as Mere, 12,0001b milk 6661b fat, for some years world's champion two-year-old. Ngahiwi then purchased daughters and grand-daughters of Soumise Tom C.B.B., sire of Lady Superior S961b fat second class. One of those heifers was carrying a bull calf by Grannie's Knight C.B.B., sire of Holly Oak Annie, 10561b fat. That bull calf, which was named Ngahiwi Silent Knight C.B.B.. was sire of Ngahiwi Grand Queen, 8261b fat.
