The imported COW Bretonne, No.
1900 in the American Guernsey Cattle
Club Register, made grand showing for
herself last year. She is one Of Hon.
Levi P. Morton's famous herd at his
Ellerslie farm, Rhinecliff, N. Y. Be
low is description of the COW, with a
report Of her rations and yield for q
year Who can beat it? The report is
from The Herd Register and Guernsey
Breeders Journal:
Bretonne is in every way fine typed
animal and a good representative of the
Guernsey She has the large size and
noble, businesslike appearance Of her
race, with their strong constitution and
well developed udder. Bretonne was
dropped Aug. II, 1884, and consequent
ly was 10 years old at the completion of
the test here reported. At the close of
the years work she weighed 1850
pounds She is orange fawn, with white
markings, and of pleasant, contented
disposition.
Superintendent Cottrell furnishes a
very carefully kept account Of her work
and management during the year end
ing Oct. 90, 1894. Her stable was d
comfortable box stall in the finely APP
pointed barn at Rhinecliff, and she al
ways went out with the rest Of the herd
for exercise in the yards. During the
hot days of summer she was kept in the
barn daytimes and turned in the barn
yard nights. The same good care and
usual amount of food allotted to the
best producing portion of the herd was
given her Although well fed, as will
be seen in the records that follow, she
was not forced to eat beyond what she
showed a ready inclination for. Careful
records were kept. The grain was
weighed every day and the ensilage and
hay occasionally Her milk was care
fully weighed each milking The butter
fat determinations were made with the
Babcock tester the middle of each
month, each test being a composite sam
pie Of eight consecutive milkings. The
result that from Oct. 20, 1898, to Oct.
20, 1894, Bretonne gave Il ,218a pounds
milk. Highest test, g.. per cent; lowest
test, 8. 3 per cent butter fat, or 602. 81
pounds butter fat, equivalent to 1853. 6
pounds butter with so per cent fat.
