Now her paternal sister, Roe- land Rag Apple Lilly has wrested the Championship from Cherry by producing 1,089 lbs. butterfat from 23,041 lbs. milk in 305 days on twice-a-day milking. The breeder and owner of both animals is J. W. Greenwood. Maple, Ont.

Maple Man Owner Of Famous Cattle A year ago Lilly established a World Record for fat of 1,055 lbs. in the senior four-year-old class of the 365 day division on twice-a- day milking. At the time she was expected to set a new mark for the 305 day division but missed calving by several days Within the 400 day limit from the start of her record which is required for the 305 day division. As a senior 3- yearâ€"old she produced in 305 days on 2x, 18,703 lbs. milk containing 811 lbs. fat, which stands second for fat and fifth in milk in Can- ada. far all time and as a junior two-year-old produced in 365 days on 2x 827 lbs. fat from 18,593 lbs. milk which at the time was a World Record for the class.
