Strict observance Of these points in
the selection Of sire OF any kind will
give you an animal that will in q few
years bring about a great improve
ment in your herd Pedigree should
not Be neglected entirely in picking
out a sire Its chief value is in show
ing that the animal Is pure bred and
that his ancestors were OF the type
which you wish 10 develop In your
herd. To determine the latter point.
however, requires longer study OF
herd books than most farmers have

Cp9n the individuality Of the animal
