Hereford and 24, Shorthorn. Of these, 61 are from the experimental lines here at the station; and 13 are from purebred breeders. The calves have gained 2.78 pounds per day to this half-way point in the test—up more than three fourths of a pound a day from their gain to weaning." The purpose of the test is to find, and later to use, bulls with outstanding growth potential, and those with good solid beefy appearance. Genetic studies at Front Royal and elsewhere have shown that these traits are inherited, and that a breeder can change the performance levels of his own herd by using a bull with good growth, good type or both. Experimental selection lines at the Front Royal station show this. Selection lines--one for growth rate and one for typeare maintained in each breed in the experiment. Results have shown that calves from the growth selection lines are generally faster growing than the calves, from the type selection lines, while the opMbjgFMPwier
