ON THE BEEF QUALITIES OF THE F^ OFFSPRING 



The qualities of an animal which make for the beef or dairy form 

 seem to be divisible into four general regions when considered from the 

 hereditary point of view. These regions from front to back are head, 

 fore quarters, barrel, and hind quarters. It seems wise to have fairly 

 broad categories under which to group the qualities of beef or milk 

 production. In view of this the descriptive terms chosen to describe 

 these animals are beef, beef and milk, milk and beef, and milk, Tables 

 XXVIII shows the characters so grouped.
