Solids Fat 



Jersey 14.70 per cent. 5.35 per cent. 



Guernsey 14.71 per cent. 5.16 per cent. 



Shorthorn 13.38 per cent. 4.5 per cent. 



Ayrshire 12.61 per cent. 3.66 per cent. 



Holstein-Friesian ...11.85 per cent. 3.42 per cent. 



It must not be inferred from this that all Jer- 

 sey cows produce milk of the same richness given 

 in this table. As a matter of fact there is a great 

 difference between the individuals of each breed. 

 Certain Holstein-Friesian cows have been known 

 to produce milk testing as low as 2.8 per cent fat, 

 and even lower, while other individual Holstein- 

 Friesian cows may produce milk containing 4.0 

 per cent fat and over. This table shows the 

 average test from a large number of cows.
