 that Ro.semar}''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 alone '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." (Ju.'^t ho\K 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 3^7.8 

 lbs. of fat over 3'>1 days and a 5.5 per 

 cent D.H.I.A. 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. l-il912. His 

 dam was Shoreland Meadowlark No. 

 219677 and his sire, Glenwood's Climax 

 of Four Pine, No. 10'>2S^. He was bred 

 to five dams who averaged S926 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 

 •1.7 test. Loss, 975 lbs. of milk. 8 i lbs. 

 of fat, and .5 per 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.' 



Back to Wi.sconsin went Loch Ange-

 in his pocket. At the State Breeder's

The 9th year, that is M.irch 1, 1934- 

 ^"^ there were 9 cows in the herd Aver-

 was -4.9 per cent. Average lbs. of fat 

 was -400.6. Cost per pound of fat was 

 1 "> 2 cents. Cost per 100 pounds of milk

 heifers with only a 3 to 4 months lacta- 

 tion period which kept the average down 

 some. 



The 10th year, from March 1. 193^ 

 to March 1. 19S6. the average dropped 

 a little. There were 10 cows in the 

 herd. The average milk was 8026 pounds.
