The question naturally arises in the mind of the practical 

 dairy farmer as to whether or not the bulls used on these scrub 

 cows were high priced animals and therefore beyond his reach. 

 Consequently it should be stated that none of the bulls used 

 were bought at high prices although they were all well bred from 

 the production standpoint. Young bulls of equal breeding can 

 be bought for very nominal prices.
