Inspector further reports, "There were no cases of
the vesicular eruptions on the teats which were
found to be prevalent in some of the sheds at the
other inspections, and this fact proves that care has
been exercised by the owners, and milkers for the
cow's teats to be in so perfect a condition, and in
one shed out of 84 cows there were only two
animals which had any defect of the udder, and
these only of a simple character."
The nature of the milk consumed in any
locality has much to do with the health of the
inhabitants, especially with the children, and the
above statement ought to be satisfactory and
reassuring to the Council and the ratepayers.
