6 THE STUDY OF BREEDS. 



VII. The many breeds of cattle in Great 

 Britain have been classified as Long-horned, Middle- 

 horned, Short-horned and Polled. 



(1) The Long-horned varieties represented in the Long-- 

 horns, prominent in the closing half of the last century, are 

 probably waning in popularity. 



(2) The Middle-horned breeds include the Herefords, the 

 Sussex, the Devons, the West Highland and the Ayrshires. 



(3) The Short-horned breeds include the Durham, more 

 frequently called Shorthorn, the Jersey, the Guernsey and 

 the Kerry. 



(4) The Polled, or hornless breeds, which are an artificial 

 variety, include the Aberdeen-Angus Polls, the Galloways and 

 the Red Polls. 



VIII. All the breeds named under Note VII 

 are more or less represented in the United States 

 and Canada, and in addition the following: 



(1) The Holsteins and Dutch Belted breeds from the 

 Netherlands, the Brown Swiss from Switzerland, the Cana- 

 dian cow of French origin and the Texans of Spanish 

 ancestry. 



(2) The Texans, numerous on southern ranges, are small 

 in size and long of horn, and they are kept pure as are the 

 other breeds, but are not registered.
