Beef Cattle Breeders To lnausurate
Record-Of-P Performance Program

William E. :. Davies. OF Fine
Creek Mills. Powhatan county.
and Stuart A. Morgan. Of Scots
vile, are among Virginia Aberdeen
Angus breeders cooperating in
new record Of performance
tests sponsored by VPI and the
Virginia Aberdeen Angus Breed
ers' Association.
The new studies will involve
calves born in 1853 in 81 different
purebred Aberdeen Angus herds
in Virginia.
DR.. c. M. Kincaid. animal hus-
bandman at VPI. said the pro-
gram is expected to do for the beef
cattle breeder what the dairy herd
improvement associations have
done for the dairymcn. 1t will
provide a way to measure both
the total production and the
quality of the product OF each
sire and COW in the beef herd.
First Y. S. Test
As far as Is known. this is the
first program of its kind to be
started with beef cattle in the
United States. Dr. Kincaid says
this step in the measurement Of
beef cattle performance started
by Virginia Angus breeders likely
will in time extend to Other
breeds and commercial herds OF
beef cattle in Virginia and the
nation.
II the program progresses AS
expected. it is likely that beef
cattle record-of-performance work
will be generally accepted as a
quicker way to improve the ami
mails. 1t will provide sound
basis for the selection Of good
producers and the culling OF loaf
ers in beef herds
Cooperating breeders have indi-
vidual record cards on which the
birth date. weight. certain mea-
surements and parents of each
calf are recorded When the birth
record is mailed to the animal
husbandry department at VPI the
calf is officially entered in the
program. About 1000 calves are
expected by cooperating breeders
in 1858.
AS groups OF calves on each
farm reach about six months Of
age. officials will visit the farm
TO weigh. measure and grade all
calves between five and eight
months of age. At that time. COM
plete records will be obtained on
feeding and management pro-
grams for each calf and its dam.
The weights and mea surementS
will be adjusted to a standard age
OF six months so that the breeder
can compare his calves at uni
form age. A summary of the calves
sired by each bull and raised by
each COW will be given the breed
err
At the time the weights and
measurements are taken the
calves will also be graded for beef
type by an official grader de-
signated by the Angus Associa-
ton.
After the first visit to the herd.
additional visits will be made at
intervals OF. from three to siX
months to get information on
other young calves coming on and
also to get information on older
calves at IL. l8. and "a months
