THE HIGHLAND-STOTSj OR KYLOE CATTLE. 



THIS is a small breed, very common both in the 

 islands and in the mountain country of Scotland, 

 where they partake much of the nature of wild 

 animals. Their shape is, for the most part, very 

 beautiful. They are generally of a black or deep 

 brown colour, though sometimes brinded ; with 

 fine white upright horns, very sharp, and black at 

 the points. Their hair is thick and furry. 



Few animals are more hardy, or better adapted 

 to thrive in bleak and cold regions, than these. 

 Their beef is celebrated through every part of 

 Great Britain. It is finely .grained, and well- 

 flavoured. Their general weight is from twenty to 

 thirty, though some of them attain the weight of 

 forty stone, and upwards. 



These cattle are driven southward in immense 

 numbers every autumn, into many of the western 



ditricts
