CHAPTER II 



Development of Registration as a Means of Isolating 

 and Perpetuating Breeds 



A large proportion of the data collected for Chapter I can also be 

 used for this chapter. The problem should be considered from 

 the viewpoint of how registration has influenced the breeding 

 problems of dairy cattle. Data should be included to show when 

 the breed organization took place; what breeds, if any, were used to 

 form the modern breed; under what conditions cattle were ad- 

 mitted to registry; etc. Define the difference between registered, 

 purebred, grade, and scrub members of the breed. Write a 500- 

 word paper on one of the dairy breeds. The best papers may be 

 read before the class and discussed in the laboratory period.
