SELECTING GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS
Systematic Plan Of Examining
Calves Needed to Bring Herd
Improvement.
tBy w. NJ. KELLY

Many dairymen make q practice Of
raising every heifer calf and fail to get
results. Then they select the heifer
calves from the best producing cows
and get nearer to what they want. but
still, there are many inferior cows
raised by them.
II is not until we begin to carefully
examine every heifer calf that we can
conduct any systematic plan Of i'm
proving the quality Of the dairy herds.
for, unless the calves are good indi.
viduals and have stamina and strong.
vigorous constitutions. no matter how
literally they are fed. some will
fail to come mp to the qualities OF their
dams.
Every heifer calf should be care
fully examined and II they show signs
of weakness they should not be raised.
Open their mouths. and IL you fnd.
after examining their teeth. that you
can see but four Of the milk teeth. you
can make up your mind that such .
calf il hardly worth raising.
Many raise their calves. but few turn
out to be profitable cows. Next ex-
anime the navel and teats. II the
teats are not placed in their right
position do not waste your time and
food trying to make . good COW out
of such . calf.
When We nnd q heifer calf that
comes up to our standard or require
ments and when We decide to keep II
We must not forget that its value ~
a COW depends largely upon the treat
ment that It receives during the 1rst
two years Of Its life.
Calves must be well cared for and
fed In such . manner that they will
never lose their calf flesh.
Aftsr they are . few months old
they should Be turned out and allowed
plenty Of exercise and good air 20 that
they may build up strong muscles An
