It is preferred by the Settlements because of its good yield of milk. It should be stated that the herds in the settlements are intended not only for the purpose of providing milk, but also for purposes of breeding. A herd of 2,762 cows has 2108 calves, or for every 100 cows there are 73 calves. (iv) The yield of the cattle herd. The absolute and average yield of the cattle herds is calculated on the basis of lists kept by the various Kvutzoth. A special method had to be adopted in the small-holding settlements in order to add the milk sold to the dairy to the milk used in the house. The estimated figures for the smallholding settlements are not as exact as the estimated figures for the Kvutzoth. In 20 Kvutzoth ... In 14 Small-holding Settlements ...
