HERD-TESTING POLICY
AYRSHIRE BREEDERS’ MOVE. ' “That as herd testing is a more constructive method, we discontinue subsidising c.o.r. testing, except in the case of breeders who are compelled to c.o.r. test on account of no herd testing branch being within reach, and that only. £4 4s be paid for the first cow.” This re- , \ solution, carried at the recent council meeting of the New Zealand Ayrshire Association, is in accordance with the herd improvement policy that the . association has adopted. The association s contention, as often expressed by the. ’ president, Mr. A. M. Weir, is that it is infinitely better ’for the industry that the entire herd should be placed under test and the unsatisfactory • producers eliminated than that a mere handful should be pushed for high individual records under the c.o.r. scheme.
