the Ideal Lamb." Then the
club members walked
among the sheep while other
members held them and they
Judged the sheep and placed
them, on paper, from best to
worst. Some did quite well.
This knowledge will benefit
members when they may be
out buying a lamb or when in
competition they can judge
what kind of animal they will
be competing against. It is
also hoped that older
members may be ready next

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July ,5.1975
The Holstein Association, in
cooperation with USDA,
calculates and prints sire
performance information
three times each year. These
facts are used by dairymen
as a guide for selecting sires
for use in their herds.
The temporary
designation “Type
Qualified” is re-evaluated
each time a sire’s per
formance is updated.
Requirements demand a
certain level of body con
formation improvement in
the daughters of the sire
when compared to their
dams. Other factors included
pertain to Holstein breed
average type scores for age
and the number of daughters
considered.
“Production Qualified” is
also temporary in that the
prescribed qualifications
must be met each time the
performance of the sire is
figured. USDA calculates the
production performance of
the sire’s daughters, com
paring them with their
herdmates.
