FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION 135 



Now when you get 12 cows that will average nearly 13,000 

 pounds of milk, you are doing well. 



Guernsey — 

 10 cows 700 lbs. butter fat 9,950 lbs. milk 



Jersey — 

 12 480 lbs. butterbat 9,100 lbs. milk. 



Brown Swiss — 

 15 cows 404 lbs. butter fat 10,450 lbs. milk 



That poor herd had foot and mouth disease. 



That simply shows the possibilities as far as good and poor 

 cows are concerned. Here we have as many as twelve cows in a 

 herd that will average 500 pounds of butterfat. It should be 

 possible in the dairy business if done right.
