Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
Owing to new legislation which came into force in 1949 the

now being only 9.
At the two dairies in the District new bulk storage tanks have
been provided and at one a new High Temperature Short Time
pasteurising plant has been installed.

both employ the method known as "complete cold mix" which
only requires the addition of water.
