Fig. 141. 2965 Mayflower (A12), a Red Polled cow of dairy type, noted as the founder of the Mayflower family. This cow gave 11,008 pounds of milk from July 18, 1892, to July 10, 1893, ^""i 43)ii8i pounds of milk in four years from July i, 1890, to July 31, 1894. Owned by Captain V. T. Hills, Dela- ware, Ohio. Photograph from Captain Hills teats, too large to be comfortably grasped in the hands. Com- parison of the form of udder on cows of this breed with that of the Ayrshire shows it to be distinctly inferior. The Red Polled breed also lacks uniformity of type, some persons selecting along beef lines and others along dairy lines. This is a general difficulty existing, however, among dual-purpose breeds, and is rather due to the variations in the standards of the breeders. There is a constant tendency to produce either for beef or for dairy Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Plumb, Charles S.
