Types of Cattle Compared. 



The problem of selecting and breeding cattle for certain 



specific purposes has been a study of deep concern to dairymen 



* and feeders for many years. Breeding has been carried on chiefly 



along two distinctive lines, viz., breeding the dairy type and 



breeding the beef type. 



The best known dairy types are the Jersey, Guernsey, Ayr- 

 shire, Holstein-Friesian and Brown Swiss. 



The leading beef types are the Shorthorn, Hereford, Aber- 

 deen-Angus, Galloway, and Sussex. 



Studying the Physical Characteristics. 

 The following figures will show the difference between the 

 dominant characteristics of the dairy and beef types. The 

 figures placed side by side show very clearly the contrasting 

 points between the two types.
