Cows For Hill Country

Categories: Live Stock and Dairy

What breed of dairy cows do you think would be preferable to keep for

butter, at an altitude of about 1800 feet, in Nevada county - Jerseys,

Guernseys or Ayrshires? I do not mean to have them to rustle for their

own living, but to feed them well, house and care for them in all

weather, particularly in stormy weather.



The best breed for a man is the one he likes best, providing it has been

bred for the purposes he desires to attain. All the breeds you mention

are suited to the scheme you outline.
