Mackay asked about the nationwide demand around milking cows and wondered if a "dairy boom" was on the way.
Cunninghame said there were a lot of enquiries happening at the moment, and there had been a large number of clearing sales coming from Taranaki and the greater Waikato region.
These sales ranged from the early $2000 to the early $3000, and there had been issues with supply and demand, particularly through late autumn and winter.
