Not illustrated. 1914 Excerpt: ... 100.--A typical dairy cow. characterized by a light, shallow, narrow forequarter and correspondingly greater width and depth of the hindquarter. This, of itself, is suggestive of both a horizontal and a perpendicular wedge, the apex directed forward whether seen from the side or the front. The wedge or triangle suggestion is made more pronounced in the profile view by the base of the triangle being extended to the lowest point of the udder at which the under line begins. This line is kept low at the rear by a deep back rib and full flank, features of digestive capacity, but inclines gradually-upward on account of the absence of the square brisket that is characteristic of the beef type and the male Fig. 101.--A typical dairy cow, rear view. and is, therefore, foreign to the dairy female. The very lean neck and fine throttle complete this under line, the head being eliminated from consideration. The light, narrow shoulder and chine that is correlated with femininity and the absence of beefiness, with the width on the floor of the chest that a cow must have in order to insure ample heart and lung capacity, are responsible for a third triangle, the apex of which is directed upward and is most easily made out when the chine is looked down upon. A fourth, an inverted triangle, may be demonstrated in the hindquarters. The long, broad, level rump forms the base, while the light thighs, concave from both side and rear view, form lines which, inclining downward and inward, approximate an apex. These triangles or wedges, it should be understood, are the effect rather than the cause of a cow's being productive, and mean little except that they represent capacity of the reproductive, digestive, respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems in a female whose proclivitie...
