How to Select Cows: or, The Guenon system simplified, explained, and practically applied
Hazard, Willis P. (Willis Pope)
Cattle -- Judging; Cows; Dairy cattle
In the statements of the commission as to quantity, they have not
mentioned the number of quarts, as the amounts given by most of this herd
are superior to the generality, even of Guernseys; and, owing to good
selection and careful handling by their owner, the commission judge that
the number of quarts would be larger than usual.
