PROFITABLE DAIRYING 



Fig. 12. Great digestive capacity is essential. 

 Fullness of flanks and good depth from the hips to the lower line 

 of the rear flank and of the udder, together with well-sprung ribs, 

 far apart, indicate a large digestive capacity. 



Fig. 13. A shallow body lacks capacity. 

 A narrow head, small eyes, nostrils and mouth, usually accom- 

 pany a narrow, shallow body. A cow with these characteristics 

 proves a disappointment as a milk producer.
