past year. * * * It is on account of 

 the facts just stated that it has been 

 well nigh impossible to secure any of 

 the females of this family at any price." 



As before noted, Jilt was a cow of large 

 size, and this quality in her seems to 

 have been transmitted to her descend- 

 ants, probably largely through her three 

 great sons, for Judge Goodwin credits 

 Judge with weighing about 2800 pounds, 

 and Justice exceeding 3000 pounds, each 

 of which represent enormously heavy an- 

 imals. The quality of flesh and softness 

 of hair are also commented on as distin- 

 guishing features of the Jilts. 



The blood of Jilt has been liberally 

 used among the Ericas and Prides, and 

 is found playing an important part in 

 the bes,t Prides of to-day. The sire of 

 Prince Ito's dam is Justice, while Jury- 

 man occurs three times in the sixth gen- 

 eration on the sire's side. Young Viscount 

 was bred with success to both of Jilt's 

 daughters, Jewel and Jewess, and from 

 those unions have come other J's, to the 

 advantage of the breed. 



Jilt in her three choicest sons was a 

 thrice worthy matron, yet even Justice 

 alone made impression enough on the 

 breed to bring fame to such a dam. The 

 excellence of Jilt should be indelibly 

 chronicled in the annals of Scotch Angus 

 history.
