The health department believes that if a cow is suffering from tuberculosis her entire value as a dairy 

 cow is gone. If she is suffering from an inflammatory disease of the udder as well as from tuberculosis, 

 she becomes even a greater danger to the herd. And if she is furthermore otherwise diseased or out of 

 condition or dirty she becomes even a more serious menace to public health. For these reasons the above 

 system of scoring has been arranged so that an individual cow may count against the score of the entire 

 herd more than would have been allotted to, her had she been in perfect condition. 



All cows stabled with the dairy herd or found in the milking line will be scored as part of the herd.
