British Friesian herds produce more milk than any other breed. Note the breadth of the Friesian bull's chest, his sleek coat and well-filled flanks. A Kerry bull. Although a much lighter breed, this is a good milking stock. The fat-content of the milk is extremely high. A side view of the bull's head. The characteristics of his breed are clearly shown. BRITISH MILK PRODUCTION No. 1 SELECTIVE BREEDING INCREASES THE MILK YIELD OF THE HERD British farmers have made an intensive study of dairy-herd breeding. Above is a picture of a British Friesian bull whose visible indications of quality are his large shoulder girth and lightness in the loin. A bull inherits his characteristics from both his parents, so that the milking qualities of his mother can be handed on by him to his progeny. The pedigree of a bull is of great importance to a farmer when improving his dairy herd, for in a year the bull can sire as many as 40 to 50 calves. British farmers do not let all their cows calve at the same time but arrange the calving so as to ensure a steady and constant supply of milk throughout the year.
