result will be low places that wl

XV. Breeding Live Stock
Ey C. V. GREGORY,
Agricultural "Di-oUion. Ioioa Stale College
Copyrlht. 1909. by American Press Association
'HP", TIE science of breeding Is very
li complicated, but there are
J some points that should be un
derstood and followed by er
ery farmer. No matter how well stock
mny be fed nnd cared for, if they do
not have the Inherited enpneity to
transform their feed economically Into
milk or beef or power they will al
ways be "scrubs." On the other hand,
poor feeding and enre niuy make a
scrub out of an animal which has the
Inherited ability to develop Into some
thing mii'.li better. To attain the best
result" breeding, feeding and Intelli
gent cure must go hand In hand.
Pure bred stock not only have the
umnty to make much more profitable
use of the focd given them, but they
also add greatly to the appearance of
the place. A pasture dotted with well
bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep
marks the owner . aa a progressive
farmer. There Is a groat deal more
pleasure, too. In caring for good stock
than there is In vainly trying to gel
unprofitable animals Into market con
dition. The first thing to consider in start
ing In with pure bred stock Is what
riO. MIX THB WAT A FAT BEEP ANIMAL
IS COT t)P.
Not the high prices- of the back and
luuvj
breed to select. Do not make a hasty
choice, for nothing will ruin your
chances of success more certainly than
frequent changes from one breed to
another. Select your breed with care
and then stick to It All the leading
breeds have good points, and the mat
ter of selection Is more a question of
Individual preference than anything
else.
In begtnning with pure bred stock
the best plan for the average farmer
to follow Is to purchase a pure bred
male of the desired breed and proceed
to grade up his herd. There are two
principles of breeding that should be
kept In mind In this work. The first
Is the old law that "like produces like."
In the mntn this lnw holds good, and,
other things being equal, the offspring
will resemble the parents. The second
is the law of "atavism," or the tend
ency of the offspring to take after
some remote ancestor. This Is where
the value of the pure bred sire comes
In. Ills ancestors for generations have
been animals of the same type ns him
self, and hence there is little chance
of his progeny differing from this type
to any serious extent. This long con
tinued breeding along a certain line
gives to the pure bred animal an abil
ity to reproduce his type that the
grade sire lacks. This ability Is called
prepotency.
Because of his great prepotency a
puse bred bull when mated to grade
cows has much more Influence over
the characters of his offspring than
the mothers have. This Is most striking
ly shown when a polled bull Is mated
to horned cows. Nine out of every
ten of the calves will usually be polled.
It is the same with other characteris
tics the ability to quickly turn corn
into high priced beef or to use the feed
for profitable milk and butter produc
tion. Of course if the cows ore pure bred
also there Is less chance of the tilvr i
resembling some Inferior ancestor nu
their mother's side, and Improvement
will be more rapid oud certain. The
cost of an entire herd tf pure breds is
very great, however, and profits will
com more 'Surely by the grading up
plan. After this lias been carried on
for a time, so that the farmer has
some experience In breeding and car
ing for high class stock, a gradual
start In pure bred females may be
oinda by buying a cow and calf or a
few yearling heifers. As the offspring
Of these Increase (lie umnber of pure
breds In the herd tho grades can grad
ually be disposed of until an entire
put bred herd finally results.
In the selection of a sire to begin
gradlug up herd It is important that
be be of the type which It is desired to
reproduce In the offspring. The most
Important things to look for In a beef
bull are constitution, form, quality and
thick fleshing. Of these coustltuttoa
la probably the most Important, as a
bull that Is stroug lu this point will
have the ability to aire a larga num
ber of rugged, healthy calves. Con
stitution la Indicated by a deep, wlds
chest; large "barrel." glrlng plenty of
room for the dlgeatlv organs; good
slxed nostrils and a large, clear eye,
A point that must go with constitution
tf the best results ar to be obtained
Is prepotency. I'rvpotency means the
ability of a aire to reproduce his good
points In his offspring, it is ludlcated
by a heavy crest and a masculine look
lug bead. A bull that baa a fine, fem
tnlue appearing head mill not be at all
certain of producing good calvas, area
though he ts a good Individual him,
elf.
Constitution and prepotency are of
Agriculture
little account, however, unlr" tli"
bull has the proper forn. The 1 ..-.!
and hind quarters at n beef !
are the parts tlnit produce th,
priced meat. Oreat width all
the back, especially over l he t
good spring of rib. plenty of !,i '
and short legs ure points that Rlxm
be looked for. Long legged bull m
usually narrow and rnugy. The I
are of little value us meat, so tii?
shorter they are the better.
Quality Is shown by fineness of
hair, pliability of hide and not too
much coarseness of shoulder, head
and bono. An animal with good qoal
Ity will furnish a better grade of
ment. and there will be less waste In
killing.
Thickness of flesh is one of the
most Important points to look for.
By this Is meant not fat. but the nat
ural covering of lean meat. Fat can
be put on during the feeding period,
but lean meat cannot. An animal
that Is thickly muscled nt the begin
ning of the feeding period will fur
nish a carcass that will be well mar
bled with streaks of fat and lean,
while another on the same feed will
put most of his fat on In the form of
tallow.
These same points are tho essential
ones to look for In the selection of u
ram or boar. Strong constitution,
wide, deep, blocky form, fine quality
and thick fleshing are just as impor
tant In those animals as In the bull. .
Of course lt will be Impossible to
find an animal that Is perfect In all
points. If the females In your herd
are badly lacking In any particular
be sure to select a male that Is espe
cially strong there. On the other
hand, a slight weakness on the part
of the sire In a place where the fe
males nre especially strong may be
overlooked. An animal that has any
very serious faults, however, should
not be considered for a moment.
Dairy bulls lack the fleshing and
compactness that characterise beef
nntmals. Low setn.s r.:d extra
width of back are nut so essential.
Constitution, ns shown by a deep
chest, wide on the bottom and a
roomy barrel, is Important. A clean
head, smooth shoulder, lino limbs and
pliable skin show the quality that Is
so necessary lu n dairy nuininl. The
most Important point Is prepotency.
A strong chest, masculine head and
large rudimentary teats are all Indi
cations of this. The best way to fore
cast a dairy bull's prepotency, how
ever, Is to look up tho milk and butter
producing records of his dam and
granddams. A bull out of a high pro
ducing cow will almost certainly be
get heifers that will be high yielders.
The most important points to look
for In draft horses, which nre the
most profitable kind to raise on the
farm, are power and endurance. Pow
er is indicated by bIzo, compactness
and heavy muscling, especially in the
hind quarters. Eudurauce is shown
by a strong constitution and One qual
ity, especially of limbs.
Strict observance of these points in
tho selection of a sire of any kind will
give you an animal that will in a few
years bring about a great improve
ment in your herd. Pedigree should
not be neglected entirely In picking
out a sire. Its chief value is In show
ing that the animal Is pure bred and
that his ancestors were of the type
which you wish to develop In your
herd. To determine the latter point,
however, requires a longer study of
herd books than most farmers have
tlaie for. If you put the chief stress
upon the Individuality of the animal
mid file the pedigree away in a drawer
where it can be referred to when nec
essary you will not go far wrong.
When you have found an aiSmal of
the desired type do not hesitate too

long over the price. A hundred and
fifty dollars may look like a big price
to pay for n bull, but anjncrease of $2
a head In the value of the cult crop
will pay for him In two or three years,
III tusuy cases you may be uble to
Jolu with two or three of your near
est uelghbora lu the purchase of a
bull, thus not only saving moityy, but
also obtaining a better animal than
you would be able to secure otherwise.
This applies with still more force to
the purchase of a stallion. In many
communities It Is Impossible to secura
the services of a first class bors of
my breed. In such a case If fifteen
or twenty farmers will agrceupon a
breed and subscribe $100 each a horse
raa b procured that will almost pay
for himself In the Inci eased value of
his first crop of colts.
