Artificial Milk Cow
Breeding Proposed
In Three Counties
Local Farmers Interest
ed' Should Contact
C. W. Overman
According to County "Agent C. W.
Overman, the breeding of milk cows
has been an increasing problem since |
th;,- livestock law prevented cattle
running at large over the country.
This has been partially responsible
for the gradual decrease of milk cows
kept on Chowan County farms over
•the last 50 years. In 1900 there were
approximately 558 milk cows and heif
ers, two years old, on the farms in
Chowan Counity. Today there are ap
proximately 385 milk cows in the'
county. Generally a farmer with one
or two milk cows does not want to
keep a bull. In many cases they are
afraid of the animal when he gets
up to a good breeding age and tightly
so because they do become dangerous
unless properly fenced or pinned and
properly managed. This results in very
few bulls being kept on the farm, cre
ating a serious breeding problem.
Another problem is that of having
bulls with high milk production rec
ords behind to improve the milk
cow stock. These problems may ,be
overcome by using artificial breeding :
where availably.
Chowan, Perquimans and Pasquo
tank counties are in the process of
making a survey preparatory to or
ganizing an artificial ihseminatibn as
sociation for the three countes. The
organizaton of ths association depends
upon the interest indicated by the
dairymen and farm people in the
three counties. It is estimated that it
will be necessary to know that there
will be at least 800 or more cows to
be artificially bred to justify the as
sociation.
Artificial breeding of dairy cattle
will tend to eliminate the breeding
difficulties. When promptly notified,
the artificial inseminator will come
to the farm and breed the cow when
she is ready. This will eliminate the
bull problem in most instances. The
cow will be bred by a sire that has
a known high milk production record

behind him. Heifers saved from such
breedings will be high producers and
gradually milk cows will be greatly
improved. This will also enable many
more .people to keep milk cows who
are not doing so because of the breed
ing problems.
Farmers who are interested in this
i artificial breeding program should
! give their names and addresses to the
j county agent so that the interest in
. this program may be determined in
helping to set up the organization.
1 This should be done at the very earli
'est date possible. Already a young!
I man in Perquimans County has taken
' a course and qualified as an artificial
j inseminator. It is estimated that the
, | cost will probably run about SB.OO per
’ cow." This cost will include a second
or even a third service, if necessary.
[ “Let us know at once if you are
[ interested,’’ urges Mr.- Overman.
