376 MODERN FARRIER. 



to be in a medium between tlie two last mentioned 

 breeds, not so thick as the long-horns, nor so thin as 

 the short-horns ; but, like the best feeding kind of 

 long-horns, they lay their fat upon the most valua- 

 ble parts, and their beef is well marbled, or mixed 

 tvith fat. 



45. Suffolk Duns. 



Suffolk duns are so called from their being the 

 prevailing kind of neat cattle in the county of Suf- 

 folk, and which some may think a distinct species, 

 but is more probably a variety of the Galloway 

 breed, which might easily take place, from the great 

 connexion that has long subsisted between the 

 Scotch Galloway drovers of cattle, and the Suffolk 

 and Norfolk feeders or graziers of them. Both 

 kinds are in general polled ; and though the Suf- 

 folks are almost all liglit duns, while the others are 

 of various colours, yet this might at first proceed 

 from a partiality to that colour. But from what- 

 ever place or cause this variety took its rise, they 

 are at present a very useful kind of little cattle, 

 particularly for the dairy ; and great numbers of 

 them are employed in that line in some parts of 

 Suffolk, where perhaps the best butter and the 

 worst cheese in the kingdom are made. The cows 

 give great quantities of milk. 



46. The Kyloes. 



The kyloes are still less in proportion to the 

 polled cattle than they are to the long-horns : this 

 breed are also covered with a long close coat of 

 hair, like the polls and long-horns ; and, like these, 

 their beef is fine-grained, well flavoured, and 

 mixed or marbled, but not so handsome on the 

 outside of the beef when killed, being not of so 

 bright a colour, and often spotted with black, even
