Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judging Dairy Cattle on the Basis of Type and Records of Production Bul s are judged on the basis of their conformation and masculinity, although it is now generally recognized that a bull's appearance is no indication of the production inheritance he transmits to his offspring. Emphasis on type, particularly on the finer show - ring points, 1500 often serves to minimize the educational value of cattle shows and judging contests by overshadowing the real purpose fer which cattle are bred. For many years it was necessary, of course, to judge the utility value of dairy animals by their physical appearance alone. Now, however, since production records afford a definite means of measuring the producing capacity of cows and the breeding value of sires, it appears that the judging standards, at least those for judging cows and bulls, might well include a consideration of available production records.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judging Dairy Cattle One of the chief factors influencing the cost of production in dairying is the yield obtained from each cow in the herd. Records kept on a large number of cows show in general that the highest average income over the cost of feed has been obtained from herds composed of the highest producing cows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Records of Pure-Bred Dairy Cows There are in Illinois over cows used for dairy pur poses, of which not over two percent are pure-brecl, and of only a fraction of one percent have accurate records of production been kept either officially or privately. Many dairymen are now add ing to their herds a few pure - bred animals as the beginning of pure - brerl herds, and still larger numbers are using pure - bred sires on grade herds. These are certainly steps in the right direction. Every possible means should be used to raise the average pro duction of dairy cows. Not all persons can have pure-brecl ani mals, but all can use good bulls to grade up their herds, and on of the best ways to convince a man of the value of well - bred stock is to demonstrate to him the effect of a pure-bretl sire on a grade herd. It should be considered little less than a crime to use a scrub' bull, or one whose dam has not produced 300 pounds of butter fat in 365 days. Had careful selection and breeding been practiced for the past sixty years by the dairymen of northern Illinois, that part of the state would' have been known the world over on ac'count of the ex cellence of its dairy cattle. During that time fifteen generations could have been produced, and fifteen generations under careful selection would have worked wonders. Very little concerted action has been taken by even the breeders of pure bred cattle to advance the interests of their respective breeds In some states there are associations for the different breeds, and numerous county or local associations. Wisconsin has about twenty-nine such associations which are doing a great work. Similar organizations sho'uld occupy a more prominent place in Illinois dairying. The herd books show that only a small part of the men owning pure - bred cattle in the state are members of even their national breed associations. The Dairy Cattle Improvement Association of Illinois was organized in 1908, and consisted of men representingthe different dairy breeds The object was to promote the spread of pure -bred cattle in the state and especially the use of pure-b-red bulls on grade herds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dairy Herd Fm. 17. - The square, beefy type of cow, usually a poor milker. Note poorly placed teats. Compare with Fig. 16.considered is the choice of a breed and whether the herd shall be made up of pure-bred or grade animals. There are several well-known breeds of dairy cattle in each having distinct qualities and each having strong partisans. While, undoubtedly, some breeds are better fitted for certain conditions of soil and climate than are others, still the matter of the choice of a breed may well be left to individual preference. In almost any location one may choose a breed for which he has a strong liking, either real or fancied, and be assured that he can establish with it a successful herd. Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, Ayrshires, and even Shorthorns, make a varied and fairly long list of breeds from which to select. The comparative merits of pure-bred and grade cows. Whether pure-bred or grade animals should be selected is a matter on which there may be more difference of opinion. By purely bred animals are meant those that are recorded in the herd-books of their respective breeds. This is the narrow, restricted sense of the term pure-bred, but it is the one in common use in Canada. A grade ammal is the produce of a pure-bred sire on a common, or grade, dam. The produce of a pure-bred sire and a common, or scrub, dam is called a half blood; the produce of a pure-bred sire and a half-blood dam is called a three-quarters blood; a three-quarters blood bredin turn to a pure-bred sire will produce a seven-eighths blood and so on ad tnfinttum. Since only the offspring of pure-bred parents on both sides are eligible to registry in the herd books of any of the dairy breeds, it follows that, no matter how far the process of grading up by. The use of pure-bred sires on grade females is carried, pure breds, in the technical sense, can never be produced. Since pure-bred animals are sought for breeding purposes, the offspring of pure-bied anim3.ls are therefore more valuable and command a higher price than the offspring of grades. Hence, if the value of the calves is taken into consideration, a pure-bred herd is amore productive one, other things being equal, than a grade herd. On the other hand, by the grading-up process referred to, continually selecting the cows that are the best producers, it is entirely possible and by no means difficult to estab lish a herd of grade cows that will equal in the production of milk any herd of pure-bred animals. Hence, if the main product alone is sought, a grade herd may produce as largely as a pure-bred one; but if the by-products are to be takeninto consideration, as it was stated at the outset that they should be, a pure-bred herd certainly has an advantage over a grade herd of equal productive capacity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cow: Dairy Husbandry and Cattle Breeding Tracing our domestic breed back to the Bison, or Wild Ox, known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, but driven away from central Europe, we find they now inhabit the wild morasses and forests of Lithuania and Circassia, Where they appear so wild and ferocious, as to resemble but little, except by marks too unmistakable to overlook, the quiet and gentle kine, which low around our homes with a social attachment. Attempts made to domesticate these have by no means been successful, and, when partially effected, they seem to have an aversion to our domesticated cattle which is highly indica tive of their half educated state. The Bison is found also in British India, in Western Asia, and on the American continent the race is hunted in most of these countries for their skins, and now perhaps for their flesh and bones. These Bisons are usually very formidable in numbers, associate together for mutual protection, move in rank and file, observing almost military disci pline, and are led by the largest and fiercest bull. So dense is their column when migrating, that, if one falls or halts, the whole herd will march over him and trample him to death. The Buffalo is another species of wild ox, and is also somewhat widely diffused, being common in India, in Africa, and in some of the wilder or more southerly parts of Europe. It seems more tameable than the Bison, and is used for domestic purposes in the East and in Africa. The native African buffalo affords hunting sport of the wildest kind, and, having also a bull leader, will rush headlong against any opposing enemy. Sometimes life is sacrificed in these exciting but terrible engagements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies on Conformation in Relation to Milk Producing Capacity in Cattle, Vol. 3: Conformation and Milk Yield in the Light of the Personal Equation of the Dairy Cattle Judge A step toward better dairy cattle and higher milk yields would be made if it were possible for every dairyman to judge dairy cattle and pick the better milk producers from the poorer milk producers as accurately as certain judges are able to do it. How can this goal be reached? One method, perhaps entirely Obvious to all, is to study the best judges, see how they do it and then follow their methods. The data showing how the best judges select high producing dairy Stock from poor producing stock are presented in the following pages together with an equally im portant analysis of the methods of the judges who cannot pick out the high producing cows. Nineteen different judges are included in these data. These judges are selected to include those which had scored 25 or more cows with known milk yields. The conformation of a cow is considered under eighteen major parts in the score card of 1903, a copy of which is reproduced below.
