THE WELSH CATTLE. 



THE animals which constitute the present variety 

 are of small size, have large and wide horns, thick 

 hides, and, in proportion to their bulk, much bone. 

 They are, on the whole, very hardy; but are, in 

 general, considered ill-shaped, and in no respect as 

 a useful breed. The Cows produce but a small 

 quantity of milk. 



THE IRISH CATTLE. 



HAVE generally long horns; and are smaller, and 

 afford coarser beef, than most kinds of English 

 cattle: and the individuals that are bred amongst 

 the mountains are said to be much worse, in both 

 these respects, than those which are bred in the 

 level country. By the importation, however, of 

 the English Long-horned stock, the race has, of late 

 years, been greatly improving.
