The form and its suitability for specific purposes is sure to cause discussion and argument, if but two parties are interested. Thus do men think themselves critics and judges of animals, even though their knowledge is based on very limited experience. There are men, however, who have grown up among flocks and herds, who, during the years, have absorbed wisdom through experience, and have naturally become qualified to judge the merits or demerits of certain kinds of animals with which they are familiar. A nother class of men, lacking in experience, yet with the stockmans instincts, seek information that will enable them to judge animals intelligently, thereby better serving themselves and mankind. In the agricultural school or college, this latter class may secure systematic instruction relative to the principles and practices of judging, whereby they may become better qualified to pass on the comparative merits of farm animals. This volume is intended to serve the needs of the stockman, be he amateur or professional, but more especially the student, who appreciates his own limitations, and seeks for a more intelligent conception of the relationship of form to function. The subject of judging farm animals is, at the present time, receiving much attention among animal husbandry students in our agricultural schools and colleges.
