    • 1916, Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers, Journal (volume 30-32, page 89)
      We usually reckon if a cow does not respond to good food at the pail, that she is "putting it on her back"; that is, she fattens, and is thus more of a beefer than a milker, and should not be retained for milking purpose.
