EXPORT OF PUREBRED DAIRY CATTLE IN 1927.
During the calendar year 1927 New Zealand exported forty-three head of purebred dairy cattle. The majority of these went to Australia and Tasmania, while a small consignment was shipped to South Africa, and one Jersey bull to Noumea. Only two breeds— and Friesian— represented in the year's exports. The total declared value of the forty-three head was £2,232 155., or an average value per head of £5l 18s. 6d. For purposes of comparison it may be stated that the 1926 figures were forty-one head, with a total declared value of £3,521, or about £B6 per head. The exports for 1927 thus show a considerable decrease in average value. The decrease is largely accounted for by the fact that in 1926 many specially selected and outstanding individuals were included in the exportations, whereas last year’s shipments ere comprised mainly of animals of more average quality.
