Another British cow has achieved the distinction of yielding more than 1000 gallons of milk in a year. Only eight cows in Britain can do this. The last cow which has so nobly added to the laurels of her sex and species is Sudborne Dairymaid 11. She is a British. Friesian., and is owned by Mr John BrOmet. She gave her great yield at Golf Links Farm, Tadcaster, and is in Mr Bromet's Golf herd which recently won the cup for the highest herd average in Yorkshire. She was calved on 4th March, 1920, and has calved five times. Her total milk yield in gallons is 10,005. Her present weight is 14 cwt, and she has yielded 44 tons of milk, producing 63 times her own weight.
