There are none which cannot be overcome by prop erly operated breeding associa tions, according to Extension dairy specialists at State College. Don't expect artificial breeding to settle cows on which the bull has failed. The program is not a cure for shy breeders or cows with diseased reproductive organs. QUESTION ? Are all proved bulls good sires? ANSWER ? By no means. Rec ords of the U. S.

Therefore, around half of the bulls that have been and are now still in general use are lowering rather than increasing milk production. QUESTION ? What is a desir able proved sire? ANSWER ?

Mr. Dills kept all livestock off the grass until it was 6 inches high. a daughter's records, when com pared with their dams, indicate he can transmit a high level of pro duction. Such bulls are very scarce; only through artificial in semination can their ability be fully utilized. It is possible by artificial breeding to get 1.000 or more calves from one bull in a year as compared with about 50 by natural breeding. QUESTION ? How does the conception rate in artificial breed ing compare with natural service? ANSWER ? Careful records kept on a large number of cows show it to be just as sure as the bull.
