2. By luutii ig tliickly-i'leshed beef bulls wiiose 

 dams were heavy milkers and beef cows wliieli 

 traiisinit Ijeef eliaracter to their progeny is it 

 ]jossible to establish a heavy niilkiug strain of 

 beef cattle within a breed, tlie female progeny of 

 which will be don))le purpose beef and milk ani- 

 mals and the males strictly of the Ijeef type ? In 

 other words, is it possible to retain the typical 

 beef form in the male aihmals and increase the 

 milking tendency of the females ? 



Dr. C. W. Mc(Jamplx'll who was placed in 

 charge of the Department of Animal Husbandry 

 July 1, 1920, did not feel that the object had been 

 well stated or that it was practical and changed 

 the })lan to one <.)f attempting to show that both 

 male and female can and shoidd be of the same 

 type — ljr(jad, (bx^p and thick and that such fe- 

 males can and should be ajjle t<-» produce strict!}' 

 beef type calves and 6,000 to 10,000 pounds of 

 nhik annually. It is quite ai^pareut that it will re- 

 (piire several years to develop such a test yet re- 

 sults to date show that the new plan is l^oth prac- 

 tical and feasible for practi<'ally all the C(jws now 

 in the test are the lu'oad, deep, thick kind and 

 the}' are })i'oducing liroad, deep, low-set, thick 

 calves and a ]iea'\'y fl(jw of milk, (jnly a few 

 need l>e mentioned.
