DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, VICTORIA 



Red Poll Dairy Herd 



(NOTE.— All the bull calves of 1915 drop have been sold, and choices from cows to calve 

 this season have been booked ahead of calving. The demand for bull calves is so strong 

 that farmers contemplating purchase are advised to study the records of the herd published 

 in the September (1915) Journal of Agriculture and book their orders ahead, stipulating 

 choice of bull calves from, say, three of the record cows.) 



Bull Calves are sold at prices based approximately on the actual milk and 

 butter fat record of the dam at the rate of Is. per lb. of butter fat yielded.
