OFFICIAL STANUAKUS OF EXCELLENCE FOR CATTLE 101 



dairy prepotency, but we would prefer to breed to a rather sluggish 

 appearing bull with first-class rudimentaries than to a stylish one 

 with badly placed rudimentaries. 



RUDLMENTARY TEATS. 



We consider that a well balanced and well shaped udder in the 

 cow is largely due to the way the rudimentary teats are placed on the 

 sire. If they are crowded close together the result is likely to be 

 narrow, pointed udders. If they are placed well apart, of good size, 

 and well forward of the scrotum, the effect, we think, will be to 

 intluence largely the production of well shaped udders in the result- 

 ing heifers and counteract the tendency to ill shaped udders inher- 

 itable from dams deficient in this respect. We believe the future 

 excellence of the Guernsey cow will be greatly aided by close atten- 

 tion on the part of her breeders to this point.
