MILKING RECORDS
The advantages to be derived ■from milk recording are many. A writer in the Rhodesian Agricutural Journal in eludes the following in his list;—
Milk records indicate to us the poorest cows and those which do not pay for their feed. The prevent our best cows from being sold or slaughtered. They help us to discover great differences in cows as regards persistency in milk flow. They help us to notice variations in yield, and urge us to seek for the t'J.tse of these variations.
They enable us |o bring in larg e r returns from fewer cows.
They help Us to build up. a profitable herd quickly, because heifers from th e best cows only are kept as the basis.
They allow us to exercise more discrimination in apportioning feed according to yield.
Financially, the keeping of milk records is of great benefit.
3 Unrig bulls arc frequently sold nt much higher prices if milk records of their dams arc availabe than they otherwise would have been.
