Grading up the dairy cow by the use of pure-bred sires : results from sixteen years of experiment at the Dominion Experimantal Farm, Nappan, N.S. / by W.W. Baird and S.A. Hilton. : A12-2/126-1929E-PDF
"The selection of the herd sire is undoubtedly one of the first factors to consider in a herd improvement policy. The important part that a sire plays in the development of a profitable herd from average grade cows of very common breeding, is clearly demonstrated in this bulletin, which presents the data collected from a grading-up experiment started in 1911 at the Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia"--Introd., p. 3.
