HERD NO. XIV 

 Average Records 1910— '11-'12 



During 1911-12 this herd was composed of about 50 pure bred Jer- 

 seys in milk. Prior to 1911 seventeen of these cows had entered the 

 Register of Merit, their average being 449.64 pounds of butter. During 

 1912 twelve more cows in this herd qualified for the Register of Merit. 

 This herd has the distinction of having one of the oldest cows in the 

 Register of Merit, she being in her seventeenth year when the test was 

 completed. 



Out of this herd were selected 28 cows having complete records for 

 three years. Butter was sold from this farm during the three years of 

 the record work at an average price of thirty cents per pound. Skim 

 milk was fed to the calves and hogs at a feeding value of twenty-five 

 cents per hundredweight. 



The production of the cows in this herd for 1910, 1911 and 1912 was 

 remarkably uniform there being a variation of only a few pounds in 

 butter-fat production during the three years.
