What a Holstein Cow Does in One Year
Holstein cows hold all records
for milk and butterfat produc
tion. The six highest records for
one year’ s production o f milk are
held by pure-bred Holstein cows
as follows : Lutscke Vale Cornu
copia. 31.246 9 pounds or 14,533
quarts; Winnie Korndvke Cornu
copia De Kol, 31,034.2 pounds or
14.435 quarts; Tilly Alcartra. 30.-
451.4 pounds or 14.163 quarts;
Queen Piebe Mercedes, 30.230.2
pounds or 14.061 quarts; Roval
ton De Kol Violet. 29 949.6 lbs.
nr 13.930 quart«; and Lilith Pie
be De Kol, 29 599.4 pounds or
13.767 quarts.
No cow o f any
other breed has ever produced
within many thousands o f pounds
as much milk as have these cows,
and, while they are the largest
milk producers o f the breed, the
Holstein-Friesian Advanced Reg-
istrv shows 320 other Holstein
cows producing over 20,000 lbs.
o f milk in one year.
The world’s record for one
year’s butterfat production is
held by the registered pure-bred
Holstein-Friesian c o w Duchess
Skylark Ormsby.
Her figures
for 365 consecutive days are 27,-
761 pounds o f milk containing
1205 pounds o f butterfat, equiv
alent. on the 80 per cent basis,
to 1500 pounds o f butter. The
breed has 67 cows that have pro
duced above 850 pounds o f but
terfat in one year, which is over
twice as many as can be shown
by all other breeds combined.
O f course these records mention
ed stand highest; but to be con
vinced that the average produc
tion, both o f milk and fat, o f
Holstein-Friesian cows is very
large, it is only necessary to
study the following table, which
gives the averages for all Hol
stein-Friesian cows, over 3.000
in number, that have been tested

for all rood stuffs. Not only will they
remain high, but soon the goods
will be hard to obtain at
any price. Lean times
