Genetic Make-up of
Cattle Improved
Gigantic improvement in the genetic make-up of Virginia dairy cattle has been accomplished in the last decade. Glance quickly at the State dairy cattle production level in 1953s 8350#M 343#F (All cows on DHIA test).

Dairy leaders the country over have heralded artificial insemination (AI), the major means for this mass genetic improvement - as the greatest advancement in dairying since
