Selecting Dairy Sire on Basis of Past Records
The USDA notes that evaluating dairy bulls by their ancestors requires considering how records were made. An investigation found that cows milked three times daily, kept in box stalls, fed to fat, and bred every 15 months yielded about 50 percent higher production than standard conditions. A herd record of 400 pounds butterfat under ordinary farm conditions equates to 600 pounds in advanced merit terms.

Inexpensive Shed For Duck House
