Profitable Cows Raised From Pure Bred Sires
Charles I Bray argues in favor of pure bred sires citing Wisconsin cow testing associations. Data show grade sire daughters averaging 144.8 to 215 pounds butterfat versus 230 to 295 pounds for pure breds, translating to higher yearly returns per cow and per ten heifer calves. The analysis notes break-even at about 200 pounds butter per cow and warns lower wages for labor tied to grade sires.
