Over 50% of our cows now milk recorded

There has been a 35% increase in milk recording since 2005, the largest annual increase — of 10% — occurring in 2011.

We now have over 50% of our cows being milk recorded. Obviously, more and more farmers appreciate the advantages of this, and it is likely to increase further.

From the point of view of improving the quality of our national dairy herd, it is desirable to have at least 70% of our cows milk recorded.
