Jersey herd proves impact of Chicago tests on butter yield
An account of the World’s Fair dairy tests explains that Jersey cows bred for three pounds of butter daily at home often drop 20 to 30 percent when moved to Chicago conditions. Tests show only one of six cows kept home-like production when relocated, with many cows suffering in butter fat. authors advocate conducting tests near Chicago with access to pasture and home-like care. Several cows posted strong individual yields, including Brown Bessie and Hugo’s Countess, with notable seven day butter totals.
