'Sold. fHeiier, 5 months record. 



This herd was composed largely of high-grade Jerseys, and as their 

 records indicate, were animals of considerable merit. The owner of 

 this herd had been eliminating the low producers for four years, his 

 object being to bring the average yearly production up to at least 5,000 

 pounds of milk. 



An excellent pure bred sire from a high producing family was at 

 the head of this herd; none of his progeny were in milk at the time the 

 record work was conducted, but they were -a promising lot of heifers 

 and slid wed more capacity than their dams. 



The cows had the run of a small field of crimson clover and about 

 twenty acres of native grasses. The ration was composed of the follow- 

 ing concentrates and roughages : 



Cottonseed meal ? 26 -15 per ton 



Cottonseed 18 - 66 P er ton 



Sucrene 29- 72 P er ton 



Wheat bran 31.66 per ton 



Corn silage 3.35 per ton 



Soiling crops ' 4.00 per ton
