Abstract
The investigations described in the present paper are based on the records of the dairy herd at the farm of the University College of North Wales, at Aber near Bangor. The results obtained will have a more definite significance if some account is given of the nature and management of that herd.The Bangor provincial area, including the four Northern Counties of Wales, is roughly divided into Welsh Black and Shorthorn country by the Conway River. Most of the cattle in Anglesey and Caernarvonshire are of Welsh Black type, and the ordinary non-pedigree dual purpose type of Shorthorn predominates in Denbighshire and Flintshire.Keywords
