. Types and breeds of farm animals. Livestock. 372 CATTLE Banostine Belle DeKol 90441 produced pounds fat, or an estimated record of pounds of butter. In May, 1919, Mr. Gardner, superintendent of Advanced Registry tests of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America, stated in Hoard's Dairyman that twenty-six cows of the breed up to March had records of producing over 1000 pounds of fat each within a year. Holstein-Friesian milk for cheese is very extensively used in Holland, where large quantities of Edam, Gouda, and other cheeses are made and shipped all over the world. This milk contains a large per- centage of solids not fat and so makes a very nutritious cheese, though its food value would be increased by a greater percentage of fat in the milk. Holstein-Friesians as beef producers do not rank well in Amer- ica, any more than do the other dairy breeds. There is too much waste in killing, with too much bone and intestinal fat. Young Holsteins, however, make excellent veal, and the author has rarely eaten veal in America equal to that commonly served in hotels in Holland. In valuations placed on Holstein beef fed at the Iowa State College, experts rated it eighth among nine breeds, the Jersey coming last. Holstein-Friesians will gain in weight but will not produce the desired quality of beef to suit the buyers. Holstein-Friesian families of prominence. The leading families of the breed, as known to-day, trace back to cows of notable merit, both as producers of milk and of offspring. There has been much mixing or crossing of family lines, and one finds comparatively little breeding that has been kept within a family. Branch or sub- families also occur within the main family, some breeders especially. Fig. 160.
