§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture what percentage reduction after midsummer is contemplated in dairy herds?
Mr. HudsonThe percentage reduction contemplated in dairy herds will vary according to the character of the herd. In some cases no reduction will be needed, but where cows are kept intensively mainly on purchased feeding stuffs or the herd includes a number of animals of an inferior type or suffering from disease, with low milk yields, a certain reduction in numbers might be desirable.
