VALUE OF A cow
MANY DAIRYMEN ARE NOT GOOD JUDGES
OF NATTTE

Altho the final proof of the value of any COW
and her right to be kept in the herd should
demand upon her ability as shown by the scale
and fat test, It very often happens that dairy
man must rely upon his own judgment In the
selection of COWS for his herd. The COW whose
good records are known is not usually for sale.
Even If the buyer had time to make short
test. that would not be sufficient to prove the
worth of the COW. Usually he has to depend
upon experience, an possibly in some cases care-
Thousands of dairymen have owned and handled
cows nearly all their lives and yet are poor
judges Of cattle. The reason for this is that
the knowledge which they have gained from
their experience is superficial. They have made
little or no study Of the COW except in the
aggregate They never have proved OF corrected
their Judgments by records or tests The type
of good dairy is a vague conception in
their minds, based more upon personal opinion
than upon evidence fact.
Intelligent and progressive farmers and dairy.
men, however, are becoming more familiar with
the fact that milk and butter producing quali-
ties Of cows are accompanied by general vigor,
conformation, temperament, fneness bearing and
other features that quite characteristic.
Dairymen who profit most in the keeping OF
cows familiarize themselves with these char
acteristics and understand their relationship to
capacity for production.
The general constitutional vigor Of the cow
