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