HERD NO. VI 

 (1911-'12) 



*7 months record. 



This herd was composed of high-grade Jerseys and was headed by 

 a pure bred Jersey sire whose dam's record was 350 pounds of butter. 

 This farmer had a definite idea in view — that of raising the standard 

 of the production of his herd. The owner of this herd has appreciated 

 for some time the value of the milk scales and record sheets on his farm, 

 and has been giving his personal care to the selection and breeding of 

 his herd. 



In addition to five months pasturage on a good Bermuda and Les- 

 pedeza pasture, the cows were fed the following feeds at the following 

 average prices : 



Cottonseed meal $26.50 per ton 



Wheat bran 33.75 per ton 



Cottonseed 17.33 per ton 



Corn silage 3.50 per ton 



Mixed hay 13.30 per ton 



Corn stover 8.00 per ton
