length and straightness. Then the heifer calves will be 

 long from the hip to the pinbone and they will grow into 

 cows with udders that will distinguish the profitable cow 

 from the unprofitable one. 



Especially do we desire that our sires be well arched 

 out between the thighs and thin there, because they will 

 then sire heifer calves that are well arched out with thin 

 thighs, and when the calves grow up there will be plenty 

 of room for a broad, long udder. 



Every one within reach of my voice knows very well 

 that success in breeding any class of livestock depends 

 upon the use of good sires. You can breed your cattle 

 upward or you can breed them downward. Whichever 

 way you go depends absolutely upon the kind of sires you 

 use and the manner in which you raise and grow and de- 

 velop your heifer calves. 



I want to thank you very much for the kind attention 

 you have given me. If there are any questions I can answer 

 for you, I will be glad to do so. Has anyone a question? 



President O'Hair: Professor, you are invited out for 

 dinner, and they are waiting for you. 



Mr. Van Pelt: All right. Let's go. 



Whereupon the meeting adjourned till 1:40 P. M.
