SCOTTISH STANDARD (6488) 



15221 



The Galloway is one of the rather im- 

 portant beef breeds of cattle that is 

 comparatively little known outside of 

 Scotland. These cattle were first brought 

 to America and to Canada perhaps fifty 

 years ago, and about 1870 were brought 

 into the United States. Not, however, 

 until within a comparatively few years 

 has the breed really attracted attention, 

 while our cattle literature and live stock 

 journals give one but scanty informa- 

 tion concerning the Galloway from any 

 point of view. Five years, however, have 

 seen a change, and to-day in the Mis- 

 sissippi valley and far west Galloway 

 cattle are receiving gratifying attention. 

 Yet from the historical point of view 

 Americans know little of individuals of 

 this breed. 



Scottish Standard (6488) 15221 was bred 

 by C. Graham of Harelawhill, Canonbie, 

 Scotland, and was calved on April 5, 

 1895. His sire was The Pathfinder 3d 

 (5991), while his dam was Gentle Rose 

 2d (13029). The Pathfinder 3d not only 

 bred some very fine animals, but was 

 himself a first-prize winner at the High- 

 land and Agricultural Society show and 

 the Royal of England and some others. 

 Camp Follower (5042), the sire of the 

 dam of Scottish Standard, is one of the 

 famous names among prize-winning 

 Highland and Royal show Galloway 

 sires. Baroness 2d of Tarbreoch 21280, 

 the first-prize aged Galloway cow at the 

 1902 International Live Stock Exposi- 

 tion and at the 1901 Highland show, was 

 a daughter of his. Dora of Durhamhill 

 (13550), by Camp Follower, was a cham- 

 pion at both Highland and Royal shows. 

 Louisa 2d of Durhamhill (14925), another 

 daughter, won the breed championship 

 and gold medal for the best Galloway 

 at the 1898 Highland show. Scottish 

 Farmer (6628) was also a prize-winning 

 son and champion. 



Scottish Standard was imported by 

 Brookside farm, J. H. Bass, proprietor, 

 Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1899. Before ex- 

 portation he had not only sired some 

 great show animals, but had also won 

 the following prizes in Scotland and 

 England: In 1896, as a yearling, he was 

 first at the Carlisle bull show, and also
