of the Galloway is black with a slightly brownish 

 tinge. In general they are spirited. They closely 

 resemble the Angus in appearance excepting for 

 the possession of wavy hair. 



Red Poll. This breed comes originally from 

 England and has been crossed to some extent with 

 Shorthorns and West Highland cattle. It was 

 introduced into the United States in 1879 and has 

 been distributed in small numbers throughout the 

 country. The Red Polls are a dual-purpose breed, 

 yielding a large quantity of milk and are valuable, 

 therefore, in the combination of dairy farming 

 and the production of beef. They are capable of 

 adapting themselves readily to our conditions and 

 are somewhat smaller than Shorthorns, maturing 

 at a medium early age and showing good grazing 

 ability. They are of considerable value in grading 

 up native stock to produce a better beef type. The 

 color is a bright red with white on the tip of the 

 tail and the udder. 



Sussex. This breed of cattle seems to be 

 related in its origin to the Devons. Sussex 

 cattle were first imported into the United States in 

 1884 and have never become very popular. There 

 are only a few hundred registered animals in the 

 United States at the present time and these are 

 chiefly in Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, and 

 Texas. They are about equal to the Galloway in 

 size and are excellent grazers, maturing rather 

 early, and are good feeders. The quantity of 

 milk is not very large. On account of the small 

 number of Sussex cattle in the United States their 

 qualities have not been thoroughly tested. The 

 color is ordinarily a light or dark red. 



West Highland Cattle. This breed has long 

 been known in Scotland and is sometimes
