slides, and soundtrack inside
the spaceship which will

TEST IS A VERY IMPORTANT TRAIT.
The test differential price is better than ever, so a higher test level
means more money in the dairyman's pocket. To improve butterfat test
through breeding, a dairyman must select bulls which are plus proven
for PD% TEST. A bull whose daughters are averaging 3.8% dr higher
but maintains a minus PD% test when used on a low testing cow WILL
NOT IMPROVE TEST in that cows offspring. Most probably he will
decrease it.
On the other hand, a bull whose daughters are averaging 3.5% but
has a plus PD% test WILL IMPROVE THE TEST on the same cows off
spring. The bull with the plus PO% test is genetically the test improver
of the two. The one who will give a dairyman the most progress in im
proving the butterfat test in his herd replacements.
DO NOT BE MISLED. Some A.I. Organizations advertize their bulls as
having a high test level on their daughters, if that same bull does not
have a plus PD% test HE WILL NOT IMPROVE THE TEST IN THE NEXT
GENERATION.
ABS currently has 16 bulls available who are plus PD% test. 10 of
these bulls are plus 80 PD dollars or more and 7 are plus proven
for HFA type.
