Feeding and Management of Dairy Cattle for Official Production (Classic Reprint)

First-Hand information, the result of practical experience gathered on one of the most successful and best equipped dairy farms of this country - this is what the author here lays before the public.

Mr. Morris H. Roberts, Jr., is not a writer of books. He is a practical farmer, trained at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, since the establishment, several years ago, of the present herd, he has been manager of the large estate of Brookwood Farms (Barryville, N. Y.), owned by Mr. William Ross Proctor. At the request of the publishers and in response to numerous inquiries from dairymen throughout the country he has taken the pen in hand in order to place at the disposal of the general public his valuable knowledge and experience in the breeding and rearing of the highest type of dairy cattle, and in the efficient management of a modern and a model dairy farm.

The Brookwood herd numbers over one hundred of the finest Jersey cattle, headed by the famous bull "Imported Golden Fern's Noble."
