vides us with an estimate of 4,200 dairy cows sold as herd replacements. If 

 80 percent of the sale for replacement are mature cows, then the total sales 

 as herd replacement, including youngstock, would be 5,250 head per year. 

 This leaves 8,750 raised replacements retained in dairy herds and not 

 offered for sale.

Dairy cows are shipped by dealers into the state from Canada, Maine, 

 and Vermont, and dairy cows are shipped out of the state to markets in the 

 southern New England States. From 1942 through 1948, excluding 1947, 

 the inshipments exceeded the outshipments as dairy herds were being built 

 up. From 1948 to 1953 outshipments of dairy cattle exceeded inshipments. 

 The relationship is shown graphically in Figure 3. With net outshipments in 

 1953 of 400, this should be deducted from the sales estimate of 5,250, to 

 arrive at a figure of 4,850 dairy cows both imported and raised which were 

 sold to farmers and retained in the State of New Hampshire in 1953.
