Poor Cattle Troubled by Bad Dairy Stock Rush
Dairymen face growing trouble as farmers buy cows at high prices with little test. Dealers flood markets with unprofitable cows and loafers, while cow testing aims to separate good from poor stock. Prof Burnett notes similar issue in Nebraska, urging careful selection and fair pricing.

Growing Into It in Dairying and Beef Breeding
The Dakota Farmer article argues that producing top dairy cows requires gradual breeding. Start with a pure bred dairy sire from a heavy milking line and keep promising heifer calves, culling the rest. For beef and milk, cross cows with beef sires or use milking strain beef cattle, saving milking-quality heifers. It cautions that a No. 1 dairy herd comes with years of careful breeding, not instant success.
