Preface 1921 Herd Book Kerry and Dexter

This first volume of the American Kerry and Dexter Cattle Club contains all entries and transfers up to December 31, 1920, inclusive. This record is as follows:

Kerry bulls...........16
Kerry cows...........61

Total------------77

Dexter bulls.........63
Dexter cows.........260

Total-----------323

Grand Total----------400

Total transfers of Kerry and Dexter cattle-------136

It is desirable to call attention to the fact that no Kerry cattle have been registered since 1916, and no active interst at this time is being manifested in teh breed, notwithstanding its undoubted merit. It may also be appropriate to state that comparatively few registrations are being made of Dexter cattle, and unless the few breeders we now have manifest more activity in promoting the breed, it will be many more years before enough registrations will be available to justify a second volume.
