Good Sires Increase
Herd Production Rapidly

Further proof of the manner In
which a producing dairy herd may be
built up by using pure bred dairy bulls
on common cows is afforded by the
results of a several years breeding
experiment conducted at the South
Dakota experiment station. The foun-
dation cows OF the experiment repre-
Sented a blending of Hereford and
Shorthorn blood, each COW being sired
by a pure bred beef bull and out Of a
grade COW. Each Of the foundation
cow was bred repeatedly to the dairy
herd bulls In the station herd and the
heifers were retained and bred to the
dairy bulls. thus producing second gen.
Grafton crosses which had IS per cent
dairy blood. Milk and butterfat rec
ords were kept for each ~lactation peri
Cd Of the grade foundation cows and
their ~graded-up offspring.
The average yearly production of
the grade beef cows. was found 10 be
4,155 pounds Of milk and 10 pounds of
butterfat. The FIRST generation heif-
ers produced by these cows to the
service of pure bred dairy sires made
records averaging 6,707 pounds Of milk
and 2GO pounds Of fat. The first cross
Of dairy blood therefore brought an in
crease of 1852 pounds Of milk and 80
pounds Of butterfat In each heifer's
yearly production. Expressed in per
cent, the first cross heifers produced
81 per cent more milk and 50 per cent
more butterfat than their dams.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1923-10-04
Every Dairyman Should
Know Profitable Cows

Every owner Of dairy cows should
know If his cows are giving enough
milk or butterfat TO make a profit over
the cost of feed" says A. c. Baer,
professor of daIrying at Oklahoma A..
and NJ. college. "A scale to weigh the
milk In the barn can be bought for "a.
1t takes only a few minutes a day
extra time to weigh the milk from
each COW and write the weight on a
milk sheet tackled up In the barn.
Once a month a sample of milk can
be tested. Any creamery, Ice cream
factory. or cream station will usually
be glad TO do this testing. Every
school house can be equipped with a
tester at very little expense and the
boys at school can do the testing.
"A profitable COW should produce
G,000 pounds of milk or 200 pounds OF
butterfat in 300 days. Are your cows
all profitable? Why not find out? Is
milking dairy cows a business propO-
sitiOn with your If so, why not ap-
ply business methods? Write the
dairy department, Oklahoma A. and NJ.
college for information"
