242 BEGINNINGS IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY 



In making this form of pedigree, the names of the males 

 are at the top of each bracket, and the females at the bottom. 

 This style may be extended from generation to generation, 

 the number of ancestors doubling each remove to the right. 

 This pedigree shows that Orion Chief, a noted Duroc-Jersey, 

 had Orion II for sire and Mabel for dam. Going back 

 another generation, it will be noted that in the line of male 

 descent, his grandsire was Orion and his grandam, Ohio Anna. 

 On the dam's side, Longfellow is his grandsire and Agnes X, 

 the grandam. If we now go back another generation we 

 have four great-grandsires and four great-grandams. This 

 form of pedigree shows the entire direct ancestry, and is the 

 only one generally used by stockmen to show the breeding 

 of an animal. 



The line of female descent pedigree is another method 

 of showing ancestry. This may be illustrated by the follow- 

 ing Shorthorn pedigree:
