So much doponds on the land and all surrounding circumstances, For really good land the Shorthorn crosses aro well suited, Wo recently saw at Tai Tapua herd of cows belonging to Mr, R. Rainoy (Chairman of the Tai Tapu Butter Factory), amongst which; were several half-bred Holstoin cattlo, bred from a pure Holstein bull, purchased from Mr, John Grigg, put to a good class of Shorthorn cows, Tho result is ft grand milking oow, To use Mr.:Rainoy's own words, "Only give these half-bred cows'plenty of good feed, and tboy will give you' rivers of milk,'" and indeed they looked like it.
