Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Sires Proved in Dairy Herd Improvement Associations, 1942 Therefore, all information on each proved sire is sent to the owner Of the sire as rapidly as the data accumulate and are tabulated. Often, however, the information will also be Of interest and value to other dairymen, especially those whose herds carry related blood lines. Bringing together all proved-sire information annually, as is done in these lists, is expected not only to be currently useful to all dairymen in selecting promising herd Sires but also to assist materially in spreading and perpetuating the influence Of the outstanding sires. Although these lists emphasize the use Of proved sires to improve dairy herds, the importance Of using dams Of proved transmitting ability is not minimized.' The sire and dam contribute equally to the inheritance Of the progeny. In a broad dairy cattle improvement program, however, the sire is the most potent factor for improving the producing capacity Of our dairy cattle. The influence Of the Sire can be widely dispersed since the Sire may have great numbers Of progeny each year; whereas, the dam will have only a few progeny during her entire lifetime. Aside from the proved sire, the best prospect for improving production in dairy cattle is through the use Of the sons Of proved parents.
