In February Senor De Miranda from Brazil visited the farm with the
object of purchasing cattle. He appeared to be much struck with the farm
cows and was anxious to buy several hundred. Eventually the sale to him of
100 cows at Rs. 300 each was sanctioned. Up to the end of the year owing to
shipping difficulties the cows sold to him had not been despatched. One cow
was sold privately for Rs. 400, a record price for this farm for a cow sold in
India. The cow was 9 years old.
