The calf should have a teal place
ment that is wide and sjmmeln
cal. The call should appear thiif
ty, be clean-cut, and show evi
dence ot developing a deep body
capacity.
We cannot always get a tine
idea ot the type and conforma
tion of a calf oven at three or
lour months of age, so we should
observe the dam and sire and
any sister, it possible, to get
some indication of what the calf
may look like when it matures.
Good management also has an
influence on what the calf will
look like as a cow. A 4-11 dairy
calf needs the best possible care
if it is expected to mature into
a high producing cow ot good
dairy type.

A new rule which has iust
been made in the ownership o£
a 4-H dairy club animal is that
all animals must be in the club
member’s name before May 1 ot
the year in which they are par
ticipating; it was formerly be
fore July 1; therefore, we hope
all will check the date of trans
fer of these animals to be sure
they are dated between the mid
dle and end of April,
