Dairy
A stud Jersey herd is being established. Since the purchase of initial
stock 13 heifer calves have been born. None of these have as yet
produced progeny. The dairy has been the subject of very favourable
comment from the Department of Agriculture, and visitors to the
Centre. This is now a registered Stud bearing the name “WUKAIN
JERSEY STUD” (WUKAIN is an aboriginal word meaning, “A Place
of Training—To Teach”).
Piggery
The establishment of the piggery has been the most successful. On one
occasion pigs sold at the Eudunda market received top price and on two
occasions second price. The herd of breeding sows has been enlarged. It
is anticipated that next year the piggery will produce at least 300 pigs for
market.
Poultry
Houses have been erected (Dryden type). These will accommodate 400
head of poultry.
Hay
Stacks of lucerne hay have been established. It is expected this season to
cut and bale lucerne at least every six weeks. This fodder is conserved to
allow for distribution to our other institutions in the event of a dry
season.
Pumping Station
Two Thompson pumps were installed in the pump house for irrigation
purposes. They are: (1) 180 h.p. capacity 200,000 gallons per hour. In
addition, a pump of capacity 3,000 gallons per hour was installed for
domestic water. The water supply is now adequate.
Beautification and Wind Breaks
Approximately 4,000 trees have been planted for beautification of area
and wind breaks.
Future Plans
Approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land has been equipped with
irrigation mains. This will be cleared and prepared for cultivation at
