by the udder hanging well up behind and also the manner in which the 

 udder of Loretta D. extends forward. The breadth of it and the depth 

 is an indication of the proper type and form of udder development that 

 should be secured in breeding dairy cattle. 



No. 11. Dolly Dimple. Guernsey Cow with record of 18458.8 pounds milk and 

 906.89 pounds butter fat in one year. 



The same form and conformation is to be found in the pic- 

 ture of Dolly Dimple, the Guernsey cow which produced in one year 

 906.89 pounds of butter-fat. More than any of the other views have in- 

 dicated, Dolly Dimple presents the long, clean-cut face, the long neck 

 free from fleshiness, the well sprung and deep rib showing constitution 

 and capacity, the freedom from beefiness in the hind quarters, the high 

 attachment of the udder behind as well as the extension forward, and 

 especially the large and tortuous mammary veins. Again the fact is 

 brought to mind that whether the cow be a Holstein, Guernsey, Ayr- 

 shire or Jersey, if she be a great producer of milk and butter-fat the 

 same general type and conformation is present. True it is that certain 

 minor points, such as color markings and size differ with the different 

 individuals and the different breeds, still they make little difference 

 when the real reason for keeping the cow — that of profitable production — 

 is considered.
