A GOOD AYRSHIRE
An eight-year-old pedigree Ayrshire cow, Ayrdale Rose, bred and owned by Mr.-W. H. Oates, of Hinuera, was the highest producer for the 1938-3 9 season in the New Zealand Co-operative Herd-testing Association and seems - likely to be the top cow under group test in New Zealand. She has yielded 13,650 pounds of milk and 807 pounds of butterfat in 310 days, and with testing being continued she is expected to complete with approximately 887 pounds of butterfat in 365 days. This is equivalent to 2| pounds of butterfat a day.
