Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1928 Porto Rico should have only one. Breed of cattle as have the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Upon this breed should be built a race of island cattle that. Will be adapted to the environment and can be bred to the native cattle for improvement in milking qualities and for maintaining ability to work, the two leading requirements in cattle at present. The station recommends the Guernsey as the best general pur ose cattle for island conditions. T te safest way to improve the cattle is by introducing purebred sires of breeds that are best adapted to local needs. The native cat tle are strong, vigorous, and Of good size. That they have kept their size and quality through several centuries of unscientific breeding is due to the favorable climate and nutritious grasses of Porto Rico. Improvement in crossbreeding is due to the large, robust frame Of the cattle and to their climatic adaptability.
