HERD NO. II 



(1911-'12) 



*Sold. f8 months record; \1 months record; 1f3 months record. 



The cows in this herd were Jersey grades. Owing to the fact that 

 only three cows, numbers 1, 2, and 4, were in the herd the entire year 

 the total profits for the herd are comparatively low. Cows numbers 

 3 and 8 were sold early in the year's work; the records soon showed 

 them to be unprofitable; the others freshened late, ranging from four 

 to seven months after the record work was started. 



The cream was sold to a local creamery at an average price of 30 

 cents for each pound of butter-fat. The following feeds were used dur- 

 ing the year ; the prices quoted represent the actual farm cost : 



Cottonseed meal $26.45 per ton 



Wheat bran 34.35 per ton 



Sucrene 31.00 per ton 



Cottonseed hulls 6.00 per ton 



Corn stover 8.00 per ton 



Mixed hay 13.75 per ton 



Pasture, per head 1.00 per month 



The cows had the run of 20 acres of native grass pasture consisting 

 largely of crab grass and broom sedge.
