Grafton, but continues indefinitely.
With beef at exceptionally high prices,
sell the scrub bull, for his meat value
far outweighs his dairy worth.
common practice for the farmer with
a few cows is to breed to the nearest
bull. regardless Of breed, breeding, or
conformation. and as a result dairy
herd Improvement is slow.
The cost of bull service also falls
heavily on the commercial dairyman
with Il small herd as bulls must be
changed every two or three years to
avoid inbreedng. AS a rule, therefore,
ne buys bull calf from the nearest
farmer who keeps the breed In which
he Ia interested. Too often cost is
fhe first consideration. Too seldom Is
the bull purebred, and even then au-
thentlc production records of his an
cestors are not usually available. The
result Is lack of Improvement.
What a Bull Association Is.
A cooperative bull association Is a
farmers organization whose purpose
is the joint ownership, use. and ex-
change of three or more high-class,
nurebred bulls. The territory COW
cred by the association is divided into
three or more breeding blocks, and a
bull is stationed in each block for the
service of the so to 90 cows in the
block. Every two years the bulls are
interchanged. Thus, at small cost, 8
bull for every 90 cows Is provided fol
six or more years. The cost of bul
service is thus greatly reduced, the
best of bulls are obtained, and the mar
with limited means and only a few
cows is enabled To improve his herd
RuIs of outstanding merit are pre-
served for their entire period OF use
