VALUES OF DAIRY COWS
ACCORDING TO THEIR AGE.

According to estimates made by
ers, the dairy COW reaches her high
est value when between and years
of age. These estimates have been
used as the basis of study on the in
f1uence of age on the value of dairy
COWS, just published as department
bulletin No. 413. The figures were OBJ
tanned from we'll informed farmers
throughout the principal dairy dis
tricts of the country, and the average
may be taken as fairly representative
of relatives of COWS at different ages.
Estimates were obtained for four of
the leading dairy breeds-Holstein
Guernsey, Jersey, and Ayrshire-and
for four classes of 5 years old of each
breed, namely, the $50 grade COW, the
500 grade, the 5000 pure bred, and
the $500 pure bred. Working from
this series of arbitrary values, esti-
mates covering values from birth to
IA years of age, were obtained For
example, it was found that the farm
ers estimated that a grade HOlstein
worth $50 at three years of age, was
worth SO at birth, SOL at years of
age, and SAG at fourteen. In the case
of the pure breds the estimated ad-
vance in value up to and years is
relatively sharper and the decline
thereafter CORRESPONDENCE abrupt
Thus the $500 pure bred Jersey is es-
timated to be worth 500 at her birth,
1851 at years, and $74 at fourteen.
