In the Pan-American dairy test in 1901 the five Brown Swiss cows stood third in total milk solids produced, eighth in net profit in fat, and fourth in pounds of milk produced, being surpassed in milk yield by the Holstein-Friesian, Ayrshire, and Shorthorn respectively. In net profit in the six months' test the highest rank attained by a Brown Swiss among fifty head of ten breeds was nineteenth, the cow Bell T. showing a net profit of $41.
