Like the males, the females of the breed sometimes attain great size. The cow Rosa Bonheur Sth 112 2 7 weighed as high as 1850 pounds while owned by the Michigan Agricultural College, while Belle Sarcastic 23039, owned by the same college, weighed 1900 pounds when fat. These cows, however, are cases. Among noted cows of the breed at maturity, Pietertje 2d 3273 H. H. B. weighed 1365 pounds; DeKol 2d 734 H. H. B., 1240; Pauline Paul 2199 H. H. B., 1450; Aaggie 901 H. H. B., 1375 ; Echo 121 H. H. B., 1920; Princess of Wayne 954 H. H. B., 1370; Segis Fayne Johanna 114648, 1450 pounds normally, 1900 fat; Fin- derne Holhngen Fayne 144551, i4SO; College Belle Wayne, 1980; and Ormsby Jane Segis Aaggie 150943, 1500 pounds. For mature cows a weight of 1250 to 1400 is acceptable, some families tending to weigh heavier than others. Measurements of Holstein-Friesian cows have been taken to some extent, especially in connection with Advanced Registry rec- ords. While no pertinent conclusions have thus far been drawn from measurements of this kind, the figures secured indicate. Fig. 156.
