GALLOWAY CATTLE. 



Introduction Into America, and Points to Be Observed in 

 Judging and Selecting Same. 



The first importations of Galloway cattle to the United 

 States were made by Graham Bros., of Ontario, in 1853, and 

 other importations soon followed. In 1861 Thos. McCrae, of 

 Ontario, began importing, and it is largely to his enterprise 

 as an importer that their rapid spread in Canada and the 

 United States is due. 



Shrewd men soon foresaw that a breed of such strong 

 prepotency and hardiness would inevitably be in demand for 

 beef purposes, and lost no time in securing animals from the 

 old country, and their spread in the United States has been 

 very rapid. 



The scale of points adopted by the Galloway Breeders' 

 Association is here appended: 



Color. Black with a brownish tinge. (Entirely black is 

 not objectionable.) 



Head. Short and wide, with broad forehead and wide 

 nostrils. Without the slightest trace of horn or scurs. 

 (Crown wide, not rising to a point.) 



Eye. Large and prominent. 



Ear. Moderate in length, and broad; pointing forward 

 and upward, with fringe of long hairs. 



Neck. Moderate in length (inclining towards shortness), 

 clean and filling well into the shoulders (in such manner as 

 to make neck and shoulder appear moulded as one piece). 

 The top of neck in a line with the back in a female, and in a 

 male, naturally rising with age. 



Body. Deep, rounded and symmetrical (well spread and 

 of moderate length).
