SUPERLATIVE BLOOD. “ALMADALE” PEDIGREE JERSEYS. The narae “Almadale" la synonymous with Jersey progress In the Dominion for It has played no small part in building up of the reputation of the breed. The “ Almadale ” Stud is the property of Mr w. H. Miers, one of the Dominion's best known Jersey breeders, and its record in the show-ring and in the Held would be difficult indeed to surpass. An ideal farm property with abundant shelter and vve JJ“ planned fields, the home of the stud at Rototuna with its splendid pastures supplies one reason for the outstanding success of Almadale ’’ Jerseys. Everyone of the 150 head of stock on the property is a pedigree Jersey, each one a splendid advertisement for Mr Mienbreeding policy. The successes of the Almadale stud in the show-ring would be too innumerable to mention in detail but sufficient it is to state that recent successes at the Auckland and Waikato Shows included five championships, two reserve championships, 15 first prizes, 12 second prizes and three third prizes. A present herd sire is Hose Marie s Duke (imp.) by Acid Duke, son of Nobly Born from Roseland's Rosemary, daughter of Standard of Oaklands, who is a daughter of that great sire, Blondes Golden Oxford.

The •• Almadale ” Stud carries superlative blood, blood which would improve any Jersey stud in the Dominion for under test and in the show-ring it has proved itself for prepotency, production, type and constitution. HOME OF PRODUCTION. “GREENCROFT”JERSEY STUD. Neat and compact, Mr J. Bones’ high-producing farm of 84 acres at Kaipaki is typical of the Waikato’s best farms and a vindication of modern farming methods. The farm carries some 100 head of cattle as well as a small herd of pedigree Tamworths and the healthy condition of the stock provides an admirable indication of the farm management. Trim shelter belts protect the pastures and the stock, the small, well-fenced fields lending themselves to the proper control of the pastures. Everything about tills modern Jersey establishment bears the hallmark of efficiency. As the home of the “Greencroft” Jersey Stud this Kaipaki farm is well known and the outstanding success of the stud in the show ring is substantially backed by high butterfat records. Among the 21 finalists out of a total entry of 170 for the Manawatm £SOO Jersey Oaks, three Greencroft representatives were included, two of which filled Seventh and Eighth places. Mr Bones has always been a firm believer in testing and years of test and selection have made the “Greencroft” Stud one of the highest producing Jersey herds in the Dominion. The herd carries the blood of the famous Cousin Grace family, outstanding for its great dairy ability and superlative type, Cousin Grace being one of the herd matrons and dam of the sensational Junior world record breaker, Qreencroft Golden Grace, C.0.R., 8641 b, as & Junior two-year-old. This record was due principally to the Ideal conditions existing at Mr Bones’ farm, and the many other high production records made on the farm are the direct outcome of the sound management that has evolved a high producing stud of superlative Jerseys. “Greencroft" Jerseys have demonstrated that they breed on and there is no herd in the country that would not be the richer with an infusion of this blood.
