Excerpt from The Effect of the Age of Sire and Dam on the Quality of Offspring in Dairy Cows: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The parentage of superior or high producing dairy cows is no older than the parentage of comparatively inferior or low producing cows and thus the old animal is no more valuable as a parent than the young animal.
