cision was reached by the belief
that rate and economy of gain are
highly heritable characteristics. It
was felt that the main objective
of a testing program should be to
identify the young bulls that have
demonstrated their ability to gain
rapidly and economically because
these characteristics can only be
transmitted if they have been in-
herited.
Under the new policy tests will
be restricted to young hulls. For
the time being breeders will not be
required to test a specified number
of animals. One or a dozen may be
nominated. However the number
on test will be lirtilted according to
accommodation at the station.
Provision has also been made for
home testing and such tests will he

station is filled mid provided that
the breeder owns or has access to
a suitable set of scalea.
The official test will commence
when a bull is 8 months old and
will cover a period of 168 days.
Breeders will be charged 75 per
cent of the cost of feed consumed
by their bulls while on the station;
the Board will assume the balarIce
of the feed cost and all costs con-
nected with the operation of the

W. P. Watson, Ontario Live
Stenk-,Commissioner and secretary
:b.Dthe Board, said today that a new
feature under the plan would be
the classification of bulls from the
standpoint of conformation.
"Although there does not appear
to be a close correlation between
type and performance, there is
ample evidence to support the con-
tention that Many bulls of good
type possess the ability to make
rapid and economical gains," said
Mr. Watson.
Mr. Watson said that at the end
of the test period bulls would be
Placed in one of the following
grades: choice, very good,. com-
mercial, plain, or ejected, Bulls
that are graded "rejected" and
bulls that fail to gain at the rate
of 2 pounds.per day must be sold
for slaughter. All other bulls will
be returned to their owners.
