DOES LIVE STOCK PAY? 75 



ated is when you are grading up your herd, or when 

 you are breeding for a good working herd, without 

 any regard to developing pure stock, or securing 

 "high prices for a pure-bred animal. If you have 

 for instance, a lot of good individual cows of vari- 

 ous breeds and crosses, the use of a pure-bred bull 

 will give you meat animals that may.be raised and 

 disposed of at a profit. The same is true of sheep 

 and hogs, that is, building up a working herd and 

 not raising breeding stock. Too much emphasis 

 cannot be placed upon this matter for as the years 

 go by and as conditions change, it is more and more 

 important to give careful thought to the matter of 

 keeping your blood lines pure.
