Yeksa Sunbeam 15439, the Guernsey cow holding the world's record for the largest official butter-fat test in one year. During 12 months end- ing in 1905 she produced 14, pounds milk which tested pounds fat, equivalent to 1000 pounds butter. Owned by Fred Rietbrock, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photograph from the owner without scaling. The cows must produce from the first day of two years of age, or before, at least 6000 pounds of milk, and this is scaled up to a minimum of 10,000 pounds for cows five years old or over. So the year's butter-fat record must have a minimum of pounds at two years, and 360 for over five. Seven-day fat tests are also provided for. The tests for advanced registry are supervised by agricultural college or experiment station 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.
