REPLACING THE DAIRY HERD SIRE
HINT FOR PRODUCERS If a new sire will 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 ali dairy sires which have been surveyed. Unfortunately, very few progeny tested sires are available, but the register should be consulted and wherever possible a son of a proven sire 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.
