FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY HERD
With Grade Calves From Good
Producers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural.
Young calves from good dairy cows
are satisfactory foundation for start
ing Il dairy herd. Ordinarily the meth
cd advocated is to grade up common
cows with a pure-bred bull, requiring
a number Of years Of patient selection
and brceding-a period sometimes dis
couraGing to ap energetic dairyman.
Frequently this causes farmers, who
want results too quickly, to change
breeds.
1t is expensive to buy mature dairy
cows that are free from disease, that
have good breeding and show desirable
productive ability. Often, especially in
new dairy sections, Il farmer buys ma
ture stock without being properly pre-
pared TO care for it, and many dis
couragements follow. TO great cx-
tent most Of this difficulty can 30
avoided by buying good grade hefer
calves from herds of well-eStablishcd
milk production. In some dairy re-
gions it is q common practice to sell
the hcifer calves for veal. These calves,
While only grades, are usually from
good producing ancestors and carry
Il productive ability much greater than
common cows.
The buying of such calves TO start
dairy herds has been tried in several
states with excellent results. OF
course the cost of small calves is much
less than mature animals and the dam
ger of disease is also greatly lesscncd.
In general shipping is simpler Calves
may be shipped by express at from two
To four weeks old, depending upon the
distance, with good results, if they are
properly cared for upon arrival.
In buying it is important TO deal
only with dairymen. DO not buy from
men who purchase calves at stock
