The third importation, in 1911, was of six cows and six bulls. Some very interesting experiments have been carried on at the Government station at Wollongbar. It would prove very interesting indeed if place could be given in this book to all the records of these breeding exper- iments, but the results of only two or three of them can be quoted. The cow Bella, a purebred Shorthorn, made the following records at the station: Second calf 3,600 pounds milk in 216 days Third calf 4,120 pounds milk in 206 days Fourth calf 3,950 pounds milk in 212 days Her daughter Pebbles, sired by the Guernsey bull Peter, made the following records : Number of Pounds Pounds Number lactation milk butter of days First calf 8,790 ... 588 Second calf 6,720 345 329 Third calf 8,720 401 389 Fourth calf 7,988 427 309 One other instance is worthy of particular notice and Digitized by Microsoft®.
