Red Poll Dairy Cattle. 



23 



All the members of the herd are in splendid fettle, and it is probably 

 one of the best conditioned herds in the State. 



The British Live Stock Annual for 1918 mentions the great strides 

 the breed is making in England, more especially on the dairy side. 



A very strong Council of Red Polled Cattle Breeders was formed 

 during Royal Show week, and the Australasian Red Polled Cattle 

 Breeders' Association, springing, as it has, from the successful efforts 

 commenced ten years ago by the Department of Agriculture to popu- 

 larize the breed, has every prospect of a successful future.
