Tear’s Angus Herd Enrolled in Program
Thomas Tear, a registered Angus cattle breeder from near Viewtown, has enrolled his herd in the American Angus Association's beef improvement program. The herd is scheduled to be classified August, 1966, by an official representative of the American Angus Association. The program, called Angus Herd Improvement Record (AHIR), is designed to help cattlemen do a more profesuring and recording the type, production and carass produc production and carace producing qualities of his herd. All AHIR records are kept by the American Angus Association on a Honeywell 400 computer. These records are sent regularly on special forms to each Angus breeder enrolled in the AHIR program. The official classifier will compare every animal in the herd against the ideal type Angus. Each integral partwill be analyzed and a total score ranging down from an ideal of 100 points will be assigned to each heifer, cow and bull over one year of age. When the classification is complete the American Angus Association's breed improvement department will compile a graph showing how the herd averaged on each part, suchas ■feet and legs, head and neck, rump, loin, etc. A graph of each bull will also be made up on a transparent sheet of acetate. By placing the bull graph on top of the herd graph a breeder can quickly determine if his herd bulls can be expected to sire calves that are better on all points than the average of the herd.
