Due to the fact that there is a

the Dairy Department IS in position
to make up limited number of pedi-
grees for the dairymen of the state

This work will be done upon re-
quest from the County Agents. Be
sure to send in the name and number
of the animal for which the pedigree
is to be made, as we'll as the name

OFFICIAL TESTING WORK THE

What il Official Testing?


An official test for dairy COW is
an authenticated record of produc-
ton conducted in such a way that
the public may have confidence In
its accuracy. Official testing of dairy
COW consists of the weighing and
testing of the milk for a certain def
mite period - usually two days out
of each month Except in the case OF
short time Holstein tests) by super
visor sent out by the State Expert
ment Station and working under the
direction of the Experiment Station
and the national breed association
Official testing should not be confused
with COW testing association work.
1t can probably be safely said that
no dairyman in this county has made
and held a national reputation as
breeder who has not based that rep
utation on official production records
At the present time, the public thinks
OF dairy cows in terms Of production
