Certificate-of-Record Testing.

Contributed by DAIRY DIVISION

THE many good yields recorded in the accompanying table of certificates issued under the C.O.R. system in December, 1938, are somewhat dwarfed by the phenomenal performance of the aged Jersey cow, Cyrilla’s Twylish Girl, the latest 1,000 lb. producer and new leader of the mature class in the 305-day Division, not only for her own breed but for all breeds. As the table indicates, she qualified for a first-class certificate in the 365-day Division on a yield of 1,023’90 lb. fat, while her total yield in the 305-day Division was 906-15 lb. fat.

Attention is drawn to her remarkably high milk-yield, which appears to be a record for the breed in New Zealand. Her consistency of production is evidenced by the fact that on a C.O.R. test commenced in August, 1933, at the age of 6 years 327 days she gained a certificate for 970-98 lb. fat from the high milk-yield of 17,953-1 lb. Both tests were on twice-daily milking for the full period, and the high milk-yield is all the more creditable for this reason. Although Cyrilla’s Twylish Girl was bred by Mr. W. H. Wallace, of Huiroa, Stratford, her tests have been conducted in the ownership of Mr. E. J. Clough, of Inglewood, to whom much credit is due for obviously efficient feeding and handling. The pedigree of Cyrilla’s Twylish Girl shows an almost complete.lack of a definite breeding-plan, although the various matings which constitute the pedigree indicate that, in the earlier generations at least, some of the best sires available were chosen. Students of the foundation animals of the breed . will appreciate the merit of such individuals as The Squire, Lord Twylish, Eminent’s Fontaine, The Doctor, and others, and of the Primroses on the female side. The C.O.R. record of Cyrilla’s Twylish Girl was commenced on the day after calving for commencement of test, and her 365-day record concluded four days before calving subsequent to test. The period between calvings was therefore only 369 days. All things considered, it is apparent that dairy temperament, constitution, and consistency have been concentrated in this animal to an unusual degree.

With reference to the list appearing in the November Journal, attention is drawn to the record of the cow Blythe Mabel, in the senior two-year-old Jerseys under the ownership of Mr. T. Anstis. This cow was entered for test and owned during her testing-period by Mr. F. B. Starky, of Toatoa, to whom all credit for her record is due. Mr. Anstis purchased Blythe Mabel prior to her calving subsequent to test, and under the C.O.R. rules was therefore entitled to the certificate.
