TWENTY YEARS AGO LBNG‘I‘IBIING TUB PERIOD OF usngununss 0P SIRBS It is a lamentable fact that many sires that have later proven to be valuable breeders have had a lim- ited period of usefulness to their breed due to the fact that they were disposed of before their breeding ability became known. Early dis- posal is sometimes due to a disin-g clination to risk the insecurity to life and limb entailed in keeping eged breeding animals around, ,but more often is due to the gradual impotency, inadvisability of inbreed- ing and the lack of facilities for keeping two herd sires. Be the causes what they may, the fact re- mains that, in many cases, better use could be made of many of the loustanding slurs in the country tha‘l meet with sdaughter while still in prime breeding condition. With most classes of stock, proper care. comfortable quarters, plenty of exercise, and due cautions on the part of the attendent reduce im- potency in the animal and the risk of attendent being injured by aged sires to a minimum. Alsn in most classes of stock, the get of the sire mature sufficiently early to enable a fair estimate to be made, through the get, of the breeding ability of the sire before the latter has to be dis- posed of to avoid inbreeding. Such being the case, it would seem advis- able for the breeder to study his breeding results closely and retain as long as he possibly can those sires that show outstanding merit. (lo-operation with neighbours or other breeders (where accredited herd regulations will allow,» in such. u-.. nnnn llClu leuunusvuu n.-. --__ , a way that sires may be exchanged for a number of years and then be used again in the original herd is one method that could be resorted to on the part. of the first owner of a t tried and proven sire. Another ' method that should prove workable ' 13 for two parties conveniently ' situated who have valuable tried sires to exchange services, for such of their own animals as are closely related to their own sires. Follow- ing out these suggestions would extend the usefulness of a bull, for instance, from the usual three or four years to seven or eight years. The greatest possibilities, however, % in extending the period os usefulness of proven sires are in getting the new breeder to appreciate the value of these proven sires and to buy them whenever possible in prefer- ence to the untried young sire. In- stances without number could be quoted where money has been lost and years or breeding have been wasted, so far as the improvement of herds and {locks was concerned: through the use of untried sires that have proven misfits. On the other hand, many good proven sires that have been offered for sale have gone to the slaughter house for want of a buyer. In the interests of the breed and the ad- vancement of breeding generally, every owner of a tried and proven sire should, when he is through With him, endeavour to put him in the hands of someone who can make from no Chronic].
