cent over a 353 days test. Was in 

 milk 11.6 months. Value of product 

 $159-75. The interesting fact here is 

 that Rosemary's mother as a 2 year old, 

 had a record of 250 lbs. of fat. Says 

 Loch, "I kept that bull only three 

 months. A fellow came along who 

 wanted a bull pretty bad. I saw a chance 

 to move him and make a little money so 



1 sold him. I shouldn't have done it 

 though. He might have got some more 

 good daughters." (Just how true that 

 is is borne out by Rosemary's daughter, 

 Rose, sired by Ajax the present old bull 

 in Loch's herd. She has a record as a 



2 year old, with her first calf of 347.8 

 lbs. of fat over 351 days and a 5.5 per 

 cent D.H.LA. test.) 



In 1927, Loch was back in Wisconsin 

 again. This time he bought 6 pure bred 

 cows and a bull at the Wisconsin State 

 Breeder's Sale. The bull was Shoreland 

 Meadow Monarch No. 141912. His 

 dam was Shoreland Meadowlark No. 

 219677 and his sice, Glenwood's Climax 

 of Four Pine, No. 105287. He was bred 

 to five dams who averaged 8926 lbs. of 

 milk, 461 lbs. of fat, and a 5.2 per cent 

 average test. The daughters averaged 

 7951 lbs. of milk, 377 lbs. of fat and a 

 4.7 test. Loss, 975 lbs. of milk. 84 lbs. 

 of fat, and .5 pet cent in test. Monarch 

 had two daughters that were good pro- 

 ducers, and three that were poor, show- 

 ing lack of uniformity. Two days after 

 the test papers came back, Shoreland 

 \.'- Meadow Monarch was just another beef 

 on his way to the 'bologney factory.'

 St. James Qiampion Ajax was his name.

 that his two nearest dams averaged 14,-

 no daughter's record so far. 



The story of the herd is now up to 

 date. Let's take a look at the herd aver- 

 age of 10 years ago. In 1926, Loch had 

 22 cows in his herd. The average milk 

 was 6244.4 lbs. Average test was 4.9 

 per cent. Average lbs. of fat was 276.8. 

 Cost per pound of fat was 21 cents. ;. 

 Cost per 100 pounds of milk was $1.11. 



The 9th year, that is March 1, 1934- ; , ' 

 35 there were 9 cows in the herd. Aver- .• ■ 

 age milk was 8168.8 lbs. Average test 

 was 4.9 per cent. Average lbs. of fat 

 was 400.6. Cost per pound of fat was 

 15.2 cents. Cost per 100 pounds of milk 

 was 75 cents. Loch says he had some 

 heifers with only a 3 to 4 months lacta- 

 tion period which kept the average down 

 some. 



The 10th year, from March 1, 1935 

 to March 1, 1936. the average dropped 

 a little. There were 10 cows in the 

 herd. The average milk was 8026 pounds. •.
