 selecting each year to spay only the most inferior of their 

 classes; Jersey's, Guernsey's, Holstein's (for milk); Short- 

 horn's, Poled Angus and Hereford's (for beef) would soon 

 work wonders in improvement and pay well from start to 

 finish. Any man, country or state can do it safely and 

 profitably, if they try. "Then" why has it not been do?ie 

 before? I think I can tell the whole story from personal 

 observation in twenty to thirty years ago. I spayed cattle 

 in different countries, in several states, and spayed cattle
