A Method of Increasing the Yield of the Milch-Cow, by Selecting the Proper Animals for the Dairy; According to Guenon's Discovery: Tested and Verified ... and of Experiments (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlock higher dairy yields with a proven system for selecting cows and bulls.
This edition presents Guenon’s method, tested and verified through years of observation and practical trials, to identify signs of productive milk in cows—and in bulls.
Designed for cattle breeders and farmers, the book explains how to read “milk-mirrors” in cows and their calves, and how to pair animals to sustain or increase milk yield. It lays out eight classes of milk-mirrors, from lyre-shaped to shield-shaped, with clear descriptions of what to look for in a live animal. Real-world certificates and testimonies illustrate how the method works in practice, helping readers separate promising stock from less productive animals.
Inside you will find practical guidance on:
- identifying signs of higher milk production in calves as young as three months
- distinguishing eight mirror shapes and their expected yield duration
- matching cows with bulls that share the same or better marks to sustain yield
- building a genealogical stock record to track hereditary traits over generations
Ideal for readers who raise dairy cattle and want a systematic approach to improving productivity and profit.

A Method of Increasing the Yield of the Milch-Cow (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers farmers a revolutionary method for maximizing the milk production of their cows. It introduces the groundbreaking discovery of Francois Guenon, a French cowherd who, through meticulous observation, identified a specific area on a cowââ â¢s body that reveals its milk-producing potential. This ââ Å"milk-mirror,ââ  as Guenon termed it, is a unique pattern of hair growth that can be analyzed to predict the quantity and duration of a cowââ â¢s milk yield. The author, who has extensively researched and tested Guenonââ â¢s system, presents a simplified and organized approach to understanding the milk-mirror. By classifying the various milk-mirror patterns into eight distinct classes and orders, this book makes Guenonââ â¢s system accessible to farmers of all skill levels. It goes beyond simply identifying good milkers, offering detailed instructions on breeding strategies to maintain and even increase the milk production of an entire herd. The book delves into the previously held beliefs about milk production in cattle, arguing that breed alone is not a reliable indicator of a cowââ â¢s milk yield. This innovative approach challenges traditional practices and presents a new, scientific understanding of milk production that could revolutionize dairy farming.
