Remarks 
Inspector. 
The health department believes that if a cow is suffering from tuberculosis, her entire 
value as a dairy cow is gone. If she is suffering from an inflammatory disease of the 
udder, as well as from tuberculosis, she becomes even a greater danger to the herd. 
And if she is furthermore otherwise diseased, or out of condition, or dirty, she becomes 
even a more serious menace to public health. For these reasons the above system of 
scoring has been arranged so that an individual cow may count against the score of the 
entire herd more than would have been allotted to her had she been in perfect condition. 
All cows stabled with the dairy herd or found in the milking line will be scored as part 
of the herd.
