*******************************************
The breeding of better dairy cattle is an art as well as a science. The art of
breeding cattle is both the inborn and developed sense of judgment as to which
animals to mate to each other with the hope of anticipated results. The master
breeder may not always be able to tell you all the specific reasons why he makes
certain mating's which may result in individual offspring superior to their
ancestors. However, his ability to make such mating's stamps him as an artist
just as truly as the masterpiece marks the master painter. By intelligent and
skilful selections and mating's , he puts together both the known and unknown
factors of inheritance in such a way as to sometimes create animals of greater
worth.
A review of the history of the breeding and development of better livestock,
reveals that the most successful breeders, the ones who have made some definite
and lasting contribution to breed improvement, have almost invariably achieved
success through a program of close breeding of related animals. They have
practiced line breeding and in breeding to intensify and strengthen the desired
character and abilities which the parents possess.
The object of these mating's is not alone to establish the character of the
immediate animal produced, but also the development of "breeding power" which
will carry on for successive generations and which will dominate over the
character of other lines of breeding when out cross matings are made in one's
own herd or in the herds of others who purchase our cattle.
Now, no one has a greater appreciation than your author of the absolute need of
finding, through records of production, just what is the apparent breeding worth
of our animals. Yet, having established the productive and reproductive worth of
our cattle, then our policy of mating such animals should be guided by the past
history of successful breeders, many of whom achieved improvement without the
complete production records that we demand today. Many cases could be recorded
of the failure of breeders who have simply mated production with production,
without regard to the principles of the relationship of blood lines, and perhaps
many more failures will be recorded by promiscuous mating of reproduction with
reproduction, as indicated by indexes or formulas, of whatever we call them.
Down through the pages of the history of livestock improvement, we find the most
genuine contributions have been made by a relatively small number of outstanding
animals in the hands of a few master breeders who have invariably intensified
the blood of these great breeding animals through close mating's of their
offspring.
