How does your Jersey compare? 



THE HOLSTEIN In point of numbers recorded the Holstein leads and 

 has for several years past. In actual milk flow the 



Holstein easily comes first, 40 to 60 Ibs. daily being a common average, 



running 7,500 to 8,000 Ibs. a year. In per cent, of butter-fat the Holstein 



ranks after all other breeds, practically in this order: 



Jersey 5.61% butter-fat 



Guernsey 5.12% butter-fat 



Ayreshire 3.58% butter-fat 



Shorthorn 3.47% butter-fat 



Holstein 3.46% butter-fat 



But in average total yield the Holstein holds the world's record, with 



Colanth 4th's Johanna's yield of 998.26 Ibs. butter-fat. 



Missouri Chief Josephine A College Educated Cow who is making Holstein history 



The Holstein is a large sized, short horned, lowland breed native to the 

 low, fertile lands of Europe on the North Sea. Friesland, Holland, famous 

 for its butter production, is the central home of the Holstein, which breed 

 is often known as the Holstein-Friesland. From here some 10,000 head of 

 foundation stock have been distributed through the farms all over America. 

 As an all-round dairy type this breed, the result of two thousand years 

 of conservative development in Friesland, is by some considered superior 

 to any other breed, on account of: 



1. Size, strength and general vitality; 



2. Capacity for full utilization of rough feed; 



3. Large milk yield; 



4. Prepotency when used to grade up scrubs; 



5. Ready marketability of carcass for beef.
