HERD NOTICES 113 



is Lady Anna, a home-bred eleven-year-old out of the 

 Gordon Castle Lady Evelyn Hope. 



Montrave Agatha was the dam of Juliana, a great 

 cow recently sent to the butcher. Juliana was dam 

 of the noted show cow Lady Margaret, by Scottish 

 Gift, and of the roan yearling Balcarres Juliet, by 

 the Uppermill Premier (132,759). Then out of Lady 

 Margaret herself there are the three-year-old Mar- 

 guerita, by the Saphock Royal Marksman, the two- 

 year-old Lady Marjory, and the yearling Gretta, by 

 Premier. What magnificent cattle the females of 

 the family are, with their aristocratic-looking heads, 

 splendid scale, and swaggering carriage ! 



Two members of the Broadhooks family are in the 

 herd. These are Duchess Broadhooks 16th, bred at 

 Throsk, and by Doune Eaider (108,419), and a pretty 

 yearling daughter by Premier. Over a generation 

 ago the Beaufort Undines were much admired. Bal- 

 carres Undine by Premier is the only one of her line 

 in the Earl of Crawford's herd. She is out of Lady 

 Jane Undine 2nd, a purchase from Mr C. M. Bruce, 

 Burgie Lodge. A very fine group of the Butterfly 

 family can be seen on the farm. Auchnacree Moth 

 10th and Auchnacree Moth 14th, bred by Mr George 

 R Grant, and by Nigel of Cluny (116,747), out of 

 dams by Strowan Butterfly 24th (104,110), form a 

 picture with their sweet heads and compact blocky 

 frames on short legs. A pretty red yearling by 

 Premier out of the 14th is to be retained in the 

 herd. A Heatherwick Mayflower, bought as a calf 



at the Aberdeen October sales of 1916, rounds off
