Great Families and Individuals of the Hereford Breed

Virginia Polytechnie Institute

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to show the great families and individuals of the Hereford breed that have been directly responsible for the great improvement wrought within the breed during later years. If these sires and families can be accurately found, it is safe to assume that the Heref ord breed must look primarily to them and their descendants f or future betterment.

It must be thoroughly understood, however, that this study is one of great sires and great families of sires, rather than great females of the breed. During the course of studies of the great individuals and families of the various breeds of dairy cattle, beef cattle, horses, and hogs, I have been firmly convinced that the breeds have been largely shaped and molded by the sires, and that a future development of any breed depends to a very great extent upon its great sires.
