U.S.A.’S BEST

A 1.600L8. COW leadership among nearly 28,000 cows with long-time records in the United States has been taken by Daisy Aaggie Ormsby 111. The new champion has completed her yearly test with 1,286.231 b fat, equivalent to 1,607.781 b butter from 33,1401 b milk, with a test of 3.88 per cent. This butter production is only exceeded by one cow in the country, the Canadian cow De Kol Plus Segis Dixie (1,686.631 b fat), and it displaces the State’s record of 1,5231 b butter made by May Walker Ollie Homestead in 1922. Freshening at 7 years 161 days, Daisy Aaggie Ormsby 111., in addition to breaking the American yearly .record, also established a world’s record for butter production in the 30day class with her yield of 178.501 b butter (7,142.241 b fat). Daisy Aaggie Ormsbv 111. made her first world’s record at 23 months of age—22,151.31b milk and 1,088.281 b butter. At her next freshening at three and a-half years she established a State record by producing 26,357.61 b milk and 1,245.131 b butter, making 2,333.411 b butter in two years—a world’s record for age. At 6 years she came back with 29,429.91 b milk and 1,038.681 b fat in 365 days. Her sire has 13 1,000 butter-fat daughters. She was bred by John Erickson and sold by him for 4,300 dollars (approximately £896) in 1924 to her present owners, Lamber and Walker.
