The sale of a herd whose production places them in the top 10% in the country will take place in Matamata at the end of June. The sale of Maurice and Jenni Butler’s predominantly Friesian herd marks the end of a 50 year career aimed at breeding a great milking cow. That they achieved that is evident in an average herd BW of 121 and PW of 139. The top BW in the herd is 239 and PW 435.

Maurice Butler admits that when he started out as a young farmer he never envisaged that farmers would, one day, be able to sit at home and confidently buy cows in real time. “But that’s what enabled such a gre...
