The best cows ever in our herd were sired by Missouri Rioter 

 3rd. From dams with average records of 4,609 pounds of milk he 

 sired daughters whose records average 7,154 pounds. The dams 

 averaged 238 pounds of fat per year, and the daughters raised 

 this to 348 pounds. 



Ten daughters of this bull produced $275.00 worth of fat per 

 year more than their dams. Counting this on the same basis as 

 before, thirty cows for six years, we have $4,950.00 worth of but- 

 ter-fat produced by the daughters in excess of that produced by 

 the dams. What would be the value of this bull, had he been 

 owned by an association of neighboring dairyman where he might 

 have had one hundred daughters or more? This bull was raised 

 on the College farm, and, as is often the case, because he was home 

 product, instead of coming from a distant state, he was not counted 

 of any special value, and was sold from the herd without any record 

 even being made as to his purchaser, and he was never transferred. 

 His remarkable breeding value was recognized when it was too late, 

 and now we would like the chance of giving $1,000.00 to have him 

 back. 



Minette's Pedro, 50031, is the last herd bull with a sufficient 

 number of daughters to give figures of any value. It may be ob- 

 served that the herd remained practically at a standstill, while he 

 was at its head. In general, this bull was not a very prepotent 

 bull, since we have wide variations and a lack of uniformity in his
