Cambridge Cow Testing Association

Cambridge Cow Testing Association.
The Cambridge Association has a
standard basis of 1000 lbs. of milk
or forty lbs. of butter fat for each
of it's animal members, for one
month.
In the association are 36 herds and
something over 900 cows. The record
cow in the Association is Grade
Holstein belonging to Perry Bro
theirs. She is an eight year old COW,
freshened last September, and has
scored 1926 pounds of milk or 56.3
pounds of butter fat in one month.
Charles Clingan of the U. of w.
is the Official Tester of the Associ-
alton. It has been organized little
over three years. Due to efficient care
feeding, and selection, fifty 10. cows"
are now more common than "forty ID"
were when the association was form
ed. Practically the whole membership
now feeds a balanced ration.
The following results were reported
to the Reporter. Nine cows made bet
ter than fifty lbs. of butter fat each
month. and 16 cows better than for
ty lbs. Not alone that, but E. B. Hills
herd of pure bred Holsteins has an
average for each COW of better than
4Olbs. of butter fat for month.
Thus it may be seen that Cow
Testing Association has practical
and scientific bearing upon product
ion, and is not passing fad. Owing
to the large number Of Cow Testing
Associations in Wisconsin compared
withother states, Wisconsin leads the
Union in the production of milk and
butter fat per cow.
This report was prepared and sign
ed by the secretary of the associa-
ton, o. P. Saunders.
