Stable Ventilation and Dairy Herd Health Practices
An article praising pure air in cattle housing cites a dairyman whose tested cows show TB resistance near an unaffected animal. Ventilation costing under ten dollars and good lighting are highlighted, along with cow selection, teat care, and humane bull handling practices.
Selection of the ram for prime flock breeding
The article argues for a heavy, broad-hipped ram with deep body and strong limbs, condemning horns on hornless breeds and defects like hollow backs. It advises selecting a well bred, pedigree ram from reputable breeders, avoiding mongrels, and choosing an aged, proven sire over a flashy show ram. It also notes milking prep for cows.
