REPLACING HERD SIRE
If a new sire should be required for a herd this year, the Department of Agriculture recommends that inquiries be made now. The New Zealand Dairy Board issues a sire survey and merit register which gives the production of the daughters of all dairy sires which have been surveyed. Unfortunately, very few progenytested sires are available, but the register should be consulted and where ever possible a son of a proven sue should be selected. Bull catalogues are issued annually by the Herd Improvement Association and these, too. should prove of considerable value to dairy farmers who are looking for herd sires.
