• More than 1.6 million cows in the South Island • Largest average herd size (757) in North Canterbury • South Island average herd sizes increasing faster than North Island Farms in the South Island are, on average, larger than those in the North Island (in terms of both farm area and cow numbers, see Table 3.1). Sixty-four percent of all cows are in the North Island, with 25% in the Waikato region. The average herd size in both islands continues to increase. Within the South Island, North Canterbury has the largest average herd size (757 cows). In the North Island, Hawkes Bay has the largest average herd size of 657 cows. The smallest herd sizes are in Auckland, Taranaki, and Northland, averaging 248, 279 and 296 cows respectively. North Canterbury has the highest average cows per hectare (3.31), followed by South Canterbury (3.22). The regions with the lowest average cows per hectare are the West Coast (2.17) and Northland (2.18).

• Highest average production per herd, per hectare, and per cow, recorded in North Canterbury South Island farms have, on average, higher per herd production than herds in the North Island, with North Canterbury recording the highest average herd production at 285,412 kilograms of milksolids (Table 3.2). This reflects a combination of larger herd sizes, a high stocking rate, and high kilograms of milksolids per cow. In the North Island, Hawkes Bay recorded the highest average herd production of 204,462 kilograms of milksolids, reflecting large herd sizes. In 2010/11, average production per effective hectare and production per cow was higher in the South Island than in the North Island. North Canterbury recorded the highest average milksolids per hectare in the South Island (1,249 kg), while Waikato had the highest average milksolids production per hectare in the North Island (948 kg). North Canterbury also had the highest average milksolids per cow (377 kg), followed by South Canterbury, Otago (each at 367 kg) and Southland (366 kg). In the North Island, Taranaki had the highest average milksolids per cow (334 kg), followed by Manawatu (326 kg) and Waikato (324 kg).
