Stockbreeder

A stockbreeder uses this drastic measure regularly-and culls the defectives and winds up with a healthy stabilized line. ❋ Heinlein, Robert A. (1973)

He was one of those who had much to lose and little indeed to gain by taking up arms against us, for, by honest industry, he had become a wealthy farmer and stockbreeder. ❋ A. G. Hales (N/A)

Would any modern stockbreeder permit the deterioration of his livestock as we not only permit but positively encourage the destruction and deterioration of the most precious, the most essential elements in our world community -- the mothers and children. ❋ Margaret Sanger (1924)

And this, mark you, without the intervention of any stockbreeder, human or divine, and without will, purpose, design, or even consciousness beyond the blind will to satisfy hunger. ❋ George Bernard Shaw (1903)

Another answer was also possible: namely, that some prehistoric stockbreeder, wishing to produce a natural curiosity, selected the longest-necked animals he could find, and bred from them until at last an animal with an abnormally long neck was evolved by intentional selection, just as the race-horse or the fantail pigeon has been evolved. ❋ George Bernard Shaw (1903)

No stockbreeder in his senses ever thinks of breeding from a youthful, immature sire. ❋ William Temple Hornaday (1895)

The author is a practical farmer and stockbreeder, and is able to vouch for the correctness of the remedies for diseases of Domestic Animals, as well as the best mode of managing them. ❋ Unknown (1842)

The whole science of Natural History is based on the existence of distinct species, capable of being discriminated from each other by certain characteristic marks; and the whole art of the agriculturist and the stockbreeder proceeds on the assumption of a law, invariable in its operation, whereby "like produces like in the vegetable and animal worlds." ❋ James Buchanan (1837)
