MUDERN MILK GOATS 



Foundation for the Herd. — The best use that could 

 be made of this range huid would be, not to stock it with 

 liighly developed, fine milk goats, but to collect bands of 

 uati\'e goats, as numerous as the range would support, 

 and obtain for breeding them the very finest possible 

 pure bred bucks of one of the milk breeds. Such bands 

 of native does could be obtained in Texas, and other 



Fk; 10 —A lan'-ze herd of native and Inw {Trade goats. A large number of these goats 

 wf Tc tallcil from grade Ari'jora iirrds of tlie Soutitwe«t, 



parts of tlie Southwest and in JNIexico, Avithout too great 

 difficulty. If Saanen Inicks were to be used, a fine herd 

 cnnld be started iiy culling from the great herds of grade 

 xVngoras found througliout the west those does that aj'e 

 least iVngora in type, and most promising as milkers. 

 In e\'ery Angora herd there are many does that show 

 evidence of fair milk yield.
