Show Common Scrub Cows Can Be Graded Up Quickly No experiment station has demonstrated demon-strated more exclusively than the Iowa experiment station that common scrub cows can be graded up In a comparatively compara-tively short time and that from ordinary ordi-nary scrubs, bred to registered sires, high producing herds can be established estab-lished In a comparatively short time. Some years ago, the Iowa experiment station purchased some scrub cows from Arkansas. They were about as poor a lot of cows as one could find anywhere, although under good management man-agement as to feed and care they Ira-proved Ira-proved very rapidly in milk production. The production of milk and fat was probably fully 40 per cent higher after good feeding than It had been In their original homes, but even at that their average yield was only 188 pounds ol fat and 4,034 pounds milk during the first year. |
