Then ft goes on to refer to Mr Philip’s (Otorohanga) herd of 61 grade Jersey cows which averaged 53.29 LBS FAT FOR DECEMBER. Another grade JERSEY herd is that of Messrs Farrow Bros., Waitoa. 55 cows (including 6 two-year-old heifers and 31 second and third calvers) according to last season's FACTORY RETURNS, produced 23.115 lbs Fat, without making any allowances for house milk or the liberal feeding of the calves which took place the HERD AVERAGED 420.27 LBS FAT.
