Text Appearing Before Image:
l. Prepotency.—But no matter how perfect a bullmay be in form, if he fails to transmit his charactersto his offspring he is not a satisfactory animal.To be prepotent he must have been bred pure forseveral generations, or until the characters are fair-ly well fixed—the longer he has been bred purethe more firmly fixed are his characters. A gradeor cross-bred bull seldom has firmly establishedcharacters, and therefore will not ordinarily re-produce his type with any degree of certainty. Onthe other hand, a line bred, or inbred, bull is likelyto be very prepotent, because his breeding has beenconfined not only to one breed, but to a certainfamily in that breed. Close inbreeding, however,is not usually to be recommended in pure-bredherds, because it may result finally in a weakenedconstitution and oftentimes barrenness.

A pure-bred bull, possessing these strongly masculine char-acters, bred to grade or mixed bred cows, is morethan half the herd, because the offspring from sucha mating are likely to resemble the sire much morethan the dam on account of his greater prepotency.This is a matter which is too often overlooked inpurchasing a bull. If a grade bull can be boughtfor a small sum there is a temptation to reject themore costly pure-bred. One hundred and fifty dol-lars more invested in a good pure-bred bull meansa cost of one dollar more per calf, assuming thatthe bull gets thirty calves per year for a period offive years. This is rather an insignificant sum incomparison with the increased value of a calf fromsuch a sire. A pure-b
