Average production per cow varies considerably from farm to farm. This variation is caused by many factors, including temperature, rainfall,<br />
soil fertility, stocking rate, the genetic merit of the herd, and farm management practice. Graph 2.3 shows that the distribution of milksolids<br />
production in <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> was similar to that in the last two seasons. Sixteen percent of the herds have an average production of over 400<br />
kilograms milksolids per cow.<br />
