The Holstein Is noted for milk
reduction and when cared for prop
rly Is one or the best dairy breeds
ne milk is not so rich as that of the
srsey or Guernsey but on account
the fact that they give such large
mount OF milk the total amount Of
utter given is often greater than that
ON the smaller breeds. HoIstein
,ttle hold the highest record for both +
ilk and butter production, although
ey are not such economical produc-
8 OF butterfat on the average as the
.rsey or Guernsey To give these
rye yields ii is necessary that the :
Olstein be fed literally. The breed
as developed to it's present produc-
We ability on heavy pasture and r
'0d feed and the best care and on h
count OF their large size and great lC
pacity they need plenty Of feed in
der to prove profitable. They are
,ely TO prove a Disappointment IL
n on thin pasture and given an in
fficient ration. Large cattle are not
well adapted to hot climates as G
laller breeds and consequently the
rsey has been more popular ami
Il in the South than Holstein, yet (
ERE are many good herds OF Hol- !
,ins further south than Oklahoma.
Only young cattle should be
ought from the North into the tick y
lntry. Calves under three months
| may take mild form OF the :
xas or tick fever which will not =
I'VE fatal, but after six or eight
'nths Old they should be inoculated
th blood from COW tnat has had
ks as this will give them a mild
m OF the fever and render them
mune to the tick.
