FARM DAIRYING 



type of cattle, with their placid disposition and 

 general good health. They are growing in favor

 for beef, and if anything happens to the cows, they 

 can be easily made ready for the butcher. 



The Shorthorn is of English origin; is above the 

 average in size and weight, and gives a medium 

 flow of standard-quality milk. She may be white, 

 red, or roan, or a combination of any of these

OTHER DAIRY BREEDS 



Other dairy breeds not so well known are: 

 French Canadiam — natives of Quebec, Canada. 

 A small sturdy type, well adapted to stand the 

 cold of winter, and hunt a living in the rough 

 pastures in summer. These cows resemble the 

 Jerseys, but are usually solid black in color.

 is above the average in quality, equal, in fact, to 

 that of the Jerseys.

 size and fair in milking qualities. They are 

 black, with a broad white band around their 

 bodies. 



The Kerry — the Irishman's cow — is a little 

 animal (some not weighing over 500 pounds),
