Oct. 7,1918 Crosses between Dairy and Beef Breeds of Cattle 



Table VI shows that the large number of males is principally due to 

 two animals — Taurus Creamelle Hengerveld and Kayan. This increased 

 number over half does not belong to any breed difference, but is probably 

 simply a function of chance sorting. 



DESCRIPTION OF THE PARENTAL HERD 



The description of the parents and their crossbred offspring will be 

 arranged in the following form in order to facilitate comparison. The 

 description of the individual parents will be made first. 



The description of the animals will be given in the following form: 

 First, the sex, then the color and markings of the various parts of the 

 body — muzzle, tongue, switch, horns, hoofs, and secretions — and then 

 the general type that the offspring exhibits in regard to its breed char- 

 acteristics. The further points considered will be in the following 

 succession: Type as judged by dairy or beef production, number and 

 placement of teats or rudimentaries, description of milk veins and 

 wells, and lastly the capacity and quality of the udder. 



The individual descriptions of the crossbred animals follow that of 

 their parents. The mating is given first, then the number of the result- 

 ing offspring. The rest of the description of these crossbreds follows 

 the same form as that of their parents.
