HERD NOTICES 105 



Rufus, was successfully used two seasons by Mr George 

 R. Grant, Auchnacree, and she has two handsome 

 daughters still at Arngask. So highly did Mr Hunter 

 think of this branch of the Miss Ramsdens that he 

 acquired from Capt. Macgillivray, then of Aldie, Dolly 

 Ramsden, a blood-red cow of great substance. Her 

 red roan two-year-old heifer by Millhills Rothes King 

 (138,020) is one of the best animals at Arngask. 



At the Dunballoch sale in 1916 he took out a

 heifers and a granddaughter of the old Emmeline 

 cow have gone to lay the foundation of Mr George 

 Brudenell's herd at Deene Park, Peterborough. 

 Another of the young Broadhooks has passed on to 

 Mr James Piper's herd at The Grange, Burntisland. 

 This strain of Broadhooks has the cross of the famous 

 Royal Star (71,502), which was such a success at 

 Beaufort. In 1916 also Mr Hunter added to his 

 herd Cairncosh Jilt 6th, uterine sister of Mr Cazalet's 

 great prize-winner, and Queen Mysie 5th (vol. 62, 

 page 957), this being a member of the noted old 

 Shethin family, and with a cross of Star of Morning 

 (58,189). Owing to overcrowding those two cows 

 were sold at Birmingham in 1918, but pretty heifer 

 calves out of them were retained. More recent 

 additions have been Gunthorpe Secret 2nd, a deep- 

 framed granddaughter of Mr John Marr's Royal 

 Leader (103,737) ; Highfields Butterfly of the Beatrice 

 branch with the Champion of England cross ; the
