HERD NO. V 

 (1911-'12) 



♦Sold. fHeifer. 



This herd was composed of pure hred Jerseys, with the exception of 

 one cow, a Jersey-Holstein cross. The herd was headed by an excellent 

 sire, Ora's Sultan No. 79165 whose dam's record for butter production 

 was 689 pounds; his grand dam's record was 654 pounds of butter in 

 one year. 



The owner of this herd has a definite purpose in view and has been 

 keeping herd records and eliminating the low producers and boarders 

 from the herd for several years. The herd was carefully fed and man- 

 aged. One reason for the moderately low production of the herd as a 

 whole was due to the fact that it was composed largely of heifers with 

 their first or second calf. The herd strongly indicates that it will in- 

 crease in annual production as soon as the cows have reached maturity. 



In connection with five months pasturage on twenty acres of natural 

 grasses the cows were fed the following feeds : 



Cottonseed meal $25.35 per ton 



Wheat bran 29.00 per ton 



Sucrene 29.30 per ton 



Mixed hay 16.50 per ton 



Cottonseed 20.00 per ton 



Corn stover 8.00 per ton 



Soiling crops 4.00 per ton 



Corn silage 3.00 per ton
