Crossbred 20: Taurus Creamelle Hengerveld (98482) X Maple Grove Netta (29304) — 

 Holstein-Friesian X Ayrshire. 



Male. Black and white. Broad white star on forehead. Throcit white; white 

 band extending across shoulders onto belly on the left side. White spot on right 

 shoulder. White on dewlap and brisket. Front side of forelegs white; back black- 

 and-white spotted. Belly black and white, white extending as an irregular band to 

 the region of escutcheon. Spot on right flank; irregular white area extending down 

 onto left leg from tail. Hindlegs white on front side; backside black. Line of 

 demarcation between white and black irregular. Muzzle black; tongue white; 

 switch white. Horns large, rather thick at base, extending upward and in, as a 

 characteristic of the Ayrshire type. The general type of body is that of an interme- 

 diate, tending more toward the typical Scottish Ayrshire build. However, the 

 thickness of the shoulders and the depth of fleshing show the Holstein-Friesian blood. 

 Four rudimentaries and two supernumeraries placed near left hind rudimentary. 



Crossbred 21: Kayan (167617) X Dot Alaska (29353) — Aberdeen-Angus X Ayr- 

 shire. 



Male. Black except for a very small area of white in the inguinal region. Muzzle 

 dark slate; tongue black-tipped, with a small spot of black on right side; otherwise 

 white. Switch black. Horns large and quite solidly attached. The face and body 

 generally are those of the Aberdeen- Angus, although the horns and V-shaped appear- 

 ance of the head show the stamp of the Ayrshire. Fore quarters are distinctly Aber- 

 deen-Angus, hind quarters are a trifle high in twist, and perhaps a little light for this 

 breed. Four large, prominent rudimentaries well placed (PI. 6, B). 



Crossbred 22: Kayan (i676i7)XCollege Creusa (25661) — Aberdeen- Angus X 

 Guernsey. 



Female. Black and white; white streak on belly and around udder. Muzzle 

 black. Tongue slate; switch black. Horns are entirely absent. Hoofs black; 

 secretions brown. The face tends more to the Guernsey than to the Aberdeen- Angus 

 type, except that the horns are lacking. Withers and brisket heavy, barrel well 

 rounded, poorly fleshed for the Aberdeen- Angus. On the whole, the general appear- 

 ance is more that of a Guernsey, which is very low set, than it is that of the Aberdeen- 

 Angus. Teats four, well placed; milk veins and wells small. Veins are too fine for 

 them to be felt through the thick coat. 



Crossbred 23: Taiuns Creamelle Hengerveld (98482 )X Columbia Brown Bessie 

 (14855 1) — Holstein-FriesanX Jersey. 



Male. Black and white. White spot on forehead; white on brisket; white in 

 inguinal region; and white stockings on hind feet. Muzzle black; tongue white, 

 with a small black spot on tip of it. Switch white. Horns well developed, ctu^ing 

 forward and slightly up. The general type is that of an intermediate, favoring the 

 Jersey in the side view of the head and light-fleshed hind quarters. The shoulders 

 and withers are those of the beef breed, although not carrying quite as much fleshing. 

 Rudimentaries four and well placed (PI. 5, C). 



Crossbred 24: Kayan (i676i7)XCollege Creusa 2nd (34227) — Aberdeen- Angus X 

 Guernsey. 



Male. Black, except for white shield in inguinal region. Muzzle dark slate; 

 tongue dark slate; switch black. Horns small and easily movable, showing that 

 they are not attached to the bone of the head. The contour of tlie face is interme- 

 diate, but favors that of the Aberdeen- Angus. The body is more Guernsey tlian 

 Aberdeen- Angus in type, although the heavy fleshing of tlie fore quarters and shoul- 

 ders and rather deep flesh of the hind quarters show the beef type. The rudimen- 

 taries are foiu", the two front ones being quite small. All four are rather well placed.
