A Mistaken I3ea to Breed Up From
Inferior Animals.
"Pedigree, more than any other
one thing, determines the status of
the cow. Individual merit comes
in to qualify the status to raise
or lower it. A cow may be above
or below the averge of her breed.
If above, she may have the power
in some degree to transmit this ex
cellence. Hence it is that by se
lection and breeding from the best
comes improvement. If we et
excellence from both the sire and
dam, improvement is almost cer
tain to follow in the offspring. In
telligent breeders take advantage
of this fact to secure an improved
type, and to it we are indebted for
the superiority of all the breeds in
their particular line of develop
ment milk or beef. Yet failure
often follows, when two superior
individual types are coupled. The
fact that their progenitors, in the
beginning, were inferior, causes a
tendency to strike back to the or
iginal type. Hence, even the most
improved sire and dam may occa
sionally produce offspring below,
instead of above their own status.
Much depends on the length of
time the breed has been in devel-
and the care and skill exer-
uF'"gi ;
ciscd in
selecting and breeding.
If of recent origin, atavism, or
striking back, will be much more
frequent, and render breeding
much more uncertain in its results.
But a long established breed,
like the Devons, with almost ab
solute certainty produces an aver
age type. Hence the importance
of selecting sire and dam, not only
with a good pedigree, but with a
long one of excellence. "With
sucb, breeding is much more cer
tain and satisfactory, and in breed
ing up a herd by introducing im
proved blood of well established ex
cellence, improvementis both muoh
more certain and much more rapid.
It is a mistaken idea that it will
pay to start with inferior animals.
If successful, the progress would
be too slow to make it pay, so long
as advantage may be taken of im
provement already secured. Com
mon sense dictates the selection of
the best possible available type.
If the beginning is with inferior
animals, the breeding may be
down instead of up. This is a
most important fact to be observed
in selecting and breeding, and
many make failures by not paying
attention to it. From this comes
the chief danger of in-breeding.
Both sides are likely to have the
same bad as well as the same good
qualities, and bad qualities are
transmitted and intensified, as well
as good ones. But if all the
points are right, then in-breeding
strengthens them and goes to in
sure their transmission.
"We often hear the remark made,
that if our common stock "were
treated the same as the blooded,
the result would be the same.
This is true only in a limited sense,
By better care and keep, and by
careful selection in breeding, un
doubtedly improvement would fol
low. But it would take a great
many years more than one man s
lifetime to start with nothing put
our native stock and breed up to
the status of our already estab
lished breeds of improved stock.
