Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Sires Proved in Dairy Herd Improvement Associations, 1945 If the difference between the average butterfat production Of the dams and that Of the daughters is less than 25 pounds, the increase or decrease should not be considered as significant. If the daughters of a sire have an average butterfat production Of 25 or more pounds above that Of their dams the sire may be considered as raising the production Of the herd in which he is used. If the daughters' average butterfat production is 25 pounds or more below that of their dams the sire may be considered as lowering the production Of the herd in which he is used, in which case he Should be discarded from that particular herd. Such a sire may prove useful in a herd Of lower-producing dams, however. To make the most intelligent selection of _a sire, the dairyman should use these proved-sire records to Single out the most promising sire and then make every effort to supplement these data with additional in formation gathered from the herds in which the dams and daughters made their records. Particular attention should be given to the feed ing practices and environmental conditions under which the records were made, in order to be assured that the records Of the daughters were not made under more favorable conditions than those Of the dams or vice versa. It is especially important to determine that there has been no selection Of daughters in making the comparison.
