 It is unfortunate that the judges of stock in the show ring do not give more consideration to the probable future value of the animal for pur- poses of reproduction and pay less at- tention to it's fine points,
 These fine points are often devel- oped at the expense of the animals S vitality and it's future usefulness. Every breeder fully realizes the harm full effects of extreme fitting on the breeding qualities of the stock, and in a warm climate, such as we have in Louisiana, there is sometimes dan ger of losing the animal from over heating
 Few prize-winning animals have proved to be satisfactory breeders; and for this reason nearly all large breeders maintain a show herd" and also a breeding herd" The breeder who develops his stock carefully can produce prize winners with much more certainty than one who pur- chases prize winners to put with his herd for breeding purposes.
