SULTAN'S CREED, GIL\iND CHAIVIPION POLLED DURHAM BULL, 1913 



Genetically, the Polled Durham is nothing but a Shorthorn ^ith°ut horns This 

 d fference is due to a single factor in heredity, as the analysis of breeding expen- 



• ments shows It is one of the smallest differences on record which have sufficed 

 to the esrabHshment of a distinct breed, and is a difference which may ex^t 

 between full brothers who resemble each other m every other ^fPe^t- A com- 

 IZ^Tr^f ihe above animal with the Shorthorn shown m Fig. 1 wll show that 

 Cv conform mmuteiro same type. The horns form the only sigmfican 



difference bS^^en them, and thev are of little significance as far as the value of 

 fifSw is concerned Sultan's Creed and Ringmaster might actualv have 

 been bom twins-It ^s a genetic possibility-but they must go through life as
