Two NSW cows win prize potential for creamery record
Two purebred cows in New South Wales produce record milk and butter yields under official supervision. A milking shorthorn from Dardalara Gundagai and a jersey bred by McDonald Ingleburn surpassed prior Australian marks, with milks of 18 197 lb and 67 3641 lb respectively and butter values around 21d per lb. The prize total is £100, contingent on calf population maintenance, and both cows set national milestones in milk and butter production.
