JOINT OWNERSHIPS
IN BULLS RES0RTEO
TO BY STOCK RAISERS

Dairymen and stock raisers can
improve their herds and save money
by becoming members Of cooperative
bull associations. Instead OF each in
dividual herd owner buying a bull.
several join and together purchase
and make use Of a high class. pure
bred bull. These bulls are placed in
districts most convenient FOR the
members of the association. and the
district surrounding each bull is
called a block. The blocks are
numbered and every two years the
bulls are changed from one block 20
another; for example. the one ia
block No. / goes TO No. ,. the one
in No. . 10 40. 3. and the one in the
last block goes to block 40. This
exchange is made TO prevent in
breeding.
The average cost to each member.
in associations from which the
United States department of agricul-
ture has information, varies from
$17 to $75 This cost furnishes bulls
Of a value running as high as $3.50,
and covers a period OF six years or
more. depending on the number of
blocks and the period Of usefulness
Of the bulls (not fewer than three
blocks being recommended).
If 500 is all that the dairyman can
spare for investment in a pure-bred
bull. il will be practically impossible
for him to have one. But if five Of
his neighbors. similarly situated.
raise 500, they can purchase a pure
bred bull If a dairyman owns Il
bull worth 5000 he can better his
condition by joining with four others
who are willing to put in 5000 each
and buy one worth $1,000. BY
forming an association of three
blocks, as suggested, the dairyman
can have the use of a pure-b bred bull
for six years for a small original in
vestment.
Cooperative bull associations are
practicable. There are now more
than 80 active associations in the
United States The first association
in this country was formed in 1908.
Similar institutions have been in
existence in Denmark a much longer
time.
1t is practically impossible 10 lose
on the investment in a bull asSOCia-
ton. especially if a little care is
given to its organization.
The organization is among the
simplest of all the farmers cOOpera-
tive efforts. yet before going ahead
it is best 10 get Information from
other associations if possible. or call
on the county agent. the State Agri-
cultural college. or the dairy division
Of the United States department Of
agriculture. for information and
personal assistance.
