SELECTING;TY
 NOF BABY BEEF COWS

In selecting cows from which ba by beef is to be produced. says the United States department of agriculture. three very important factors should be kept in mind: l. The cows should have at least a fair amount of beef blood. Pure breds are not necessary. but two or three crosses of such breeding is essential. COWS with preponderance of dairy blood will not do for the production of ba by beef.
 ?. Cows best suited for this type of breeding usually weigh 900 pounds or over in thrifty breeding condition So long as early maturity is not sacri- feed, the heavier cows are the most suita ble for baby beef production. Size of, frame rather than weight should govern in selecting cows which are to be used for this purpose.
 3. The cows used to produce baby beeves should produce enough milk to keep the calves fat and growing with out much additional feed up to wean- ing time.
 In addition to these three factors, such things as constitution, uniform ity of breeding, color. size, and early maturity should be coN;dered.
