Poll Hereford Stud

p. 149 · Read in the full issue

AN agricultural college beef cattle stud is to be started in New Caledonia. It will be stocked with Poll Herefords, a breed that is becoming increasingly popular there.

The good impression given by beasts imported from the Aus tralian Pylara stud at Noumea’s first livestock show recently led to the choice of the breed for the new stud. Six Pylara heifers and the bull, Pylara Protecter, were selected by the chief veterinary officer of New Caledonia at the last Sydney Royal Easter Show.
