Synopsis

Excerpt from Grading Up the Dairy Cow by the Use of Pure-Bred Sires: Results From Sixteen Years of Experiment at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Nappan, N. S

What, then, is the most economical policy for the average farmer to adopt in order that his herd average may be increased to a profitable point?

The three main factors governing an increase in production are breeding, feeding and wee-ding. Bearing in mind, then, that the milking propensities of an individual are inherited, not acquired, a carefully thought out policy should be one that would develop these inherited qualities to a. Maximum.

The selection of the herd sire is undoubtedly one of the first factors to con sider in a herd improvement policy. The important part that a sire plays in the development of a profitable herd from average grade cows of very common breeding, is clearly demonstrated in this bulletin, which presents the data collected from a grading-up experiment started in 1911 at the Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia.
