can determine a herd's annual milk
yield with 99.25 per cent accuracy.
Mosle stated that in order to
give Ayrshire breeders th? whole
truth, and avoid misrepresentation
of any nature, unselected data was
used in checking the accuracy of
the "factors.’’ In other words, the
widespread practice of using select
cows and bulls was avoided.
The farmer can now decide
whether or not to continue using a
bull for breeding purposes eight j
months earlier than was heretofore
possible. Untold thousands of dol- i
lars will be saved by this practice.
Furthermore, the use of the "fac
tors” will enable the breeders to 1
