Excerpt from List of Sires Proved in Dairy Herd Improvement Associations, 1938 In dairy herd-improvement association work a sire is termed a proved sire when the production records of at least five of his unselected daughters have been compared with the production records of their dams. Such comparisons may show that a s1re has transmitted high medium or low-producing ability to his daughters. To say that a sire is a proved s1re, therefore, does not necessarily mean that the sire is a valuable sire; it merely means that the production records of five or more of his unselected daughters and their dams have been compared on a uniform basis.
