In the breeding Of superb Of Aiphea Rex the
above strains are so skillfuny crossed, so judi
ciously combined and harmoniously blended
as to insure the highest stainable results IN color
form and butter producing qualities. Many bulls,
none of them his superior and some by no means
his equal in cost, beauty breeding, are sta nd
ing at from 500 ~ $3.50, but, looking to the fu-
ture, and desiring to encourage the breeding OF
Jerseys in our Valley, TO which il Is peculiarly
adapted, We have decided to permit HIM TO serve
4 limited number Of approved cows at$Lo each, !
cash at time of service, cows viii receive same |
care and attention our own; no charge Tor Keep
ing but they will be at owners risk.
BY our system Of breeding we think that our |
friends can be reasonably sure Of obtaining heller
calves: -
