HISTORY SHEET

• The pedigree of the animal is very important and every cow should have a separate history sheet wherein its ancestors performance, its present production and reproductive performance are carefully recorded.
• The data contained in the sheet are very vital for the evaluation of the efficiency of the animal and to decide whether the animal is economical to maintain or not.
• Inspection of this sheet will give one the inheritance of the individual, the number of calves she has produced, and the regularity with which the cow produced them and the disposition of calves.
