Synopsis

This book explains how dual‑purpose cattle pass on milk and beef traits through careful, real‑world records.

The Heredity of Dual Purpose Cattle is a detailed look at farm economics and animal breeding based on historical milk and beef data. Drawing on long-running records and analysis, it shows how milk yield, fat content, and other traits relate to inheritance and performance. The work highlights practical methods for evaluating cows and understanding how their offspring may compare over time.

• Learn how daily milk production and fat content change with calving, aging, and management.
• See how large milk test programs provide facts that replace guesswork in dairy farming.
• Discover how different cow lineages and pedigrees contribute to both milk and beef traits.
• Understand what measurement, testing, and record-keeping reveal about inheritance and performance.

Ideal for readers of farm economics, dairy science, and cattle breeding, this edition offers clear takeaways grounded in decades of actual data.
