LaFayette, Ind., July, 1911
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION XII
LIVE STOCK JUDGING FOR BEGINNERS
To become a good judge of live stock should be the ambition, of every boy and girl. This circular is designed primarily for the beginner in the study of live stock judging, and more especially for the boys and young men of Indiana who cannot come into personal contact with any one familiar with a systematic method of studying this subject.
Indiana farms need more and better live stock in order to prevent the waste of large quantities of rough feeds and to maintain soil fertility and increased profits.
The farmer who has become a good judge of live stock through careful, systematic study will have opportunity to come in touch with the best methods of breeding and handling stock and with men of affairs, and by his increased knowledge broaden his influence and usefulness to his community and the world at large.
The man who understands market demands and who has the ability to select animals for the feed lot, that will make consistent, rapid, and economical gains throughout the feeding period and meet the market requirements will find this knowledge a source of both profit and satisfaction.
Wise selection and mating is impossible without definite knowledge of what constitutes a good animal and ability to discriminate against the undesirable, inferior sire.
It is not practicable nor possible to replace all the live stock of the farms of Indiana with pure-breds. It is possible, however, and would be highly profitable, to replace all the grade, crossbred, and scrub males which are being used as sires, with males which possess the breeding that will insure improvement.
