110 SHORTHORNS 



are beautiful cows by Strowan Butterfly 24th (104,110), 

 which ended his days in the Corston herd. Those 

 cows and other females by the Strowan bull have 

 charming heads with slightly down-curving flat horns. 

 Lottie is dam of Auchnacree Laird, the second-prize 

 bull in the two-year-old class at Perth in 1918, and 

 highest-prized animal in his section. Mysie Groat, 

 the purchase at Pitcur, was by the Colly nie Count 

 Nicholas (76,435), the grandsire of Earl Manvers, 

 Royal English Champion, Duke of Kingston 2nd. 

 A red daughter of the Groat cow by the Strowan 

 sire is one of the finest-looking females in the collec- 

 tion, and her young bull by Auchnacree Rajah (134,744) 

 was accounted the best in Mr Grant's lot at the Perth 

 spring sale of 1919. Although the Jilt was acquired 

 from Messrs Lumsden & M'Kenzie, she was bred at 

 Pitcur. Her sire was the Uppermill King Victor 

 (81,394). A red daughter is easily picked out as by 

 the Strowan bull. 



With regard to the principal bulls used by Mr 

 Grant, March On (89,231), a handsomely-proportioned 

 roan bred by Messrs Lumsden & M'Kenzie, and by 

 the noted breeder Prince Fortinbras (79,618), did 

 remarkably well, especially as sire of heifers. Royal 

 Duke (96,890), a dark roan son of Royal Banner 

 (87,152), from Dunglass Ruby 2nd by the champion 

 Collynie Conqueror (78,609), proved generally satis- 

 factory. Strowan Butterfly 24th, already referred 

 to, was used seven years at Auchnacree and four 

 years at Corston. Sired by Congalton Conqueror 

 (88,236), and from a Montrave Baron (81,740) cow,
