146 SHORTHORNS 



were beautiful calves of the very finest lines of breed- 

 ing. The Doune Goldie has bred a grand red roan 

 bull calf by Eclipse of Collynie, and Victoria has 

 produced a pretty white bull by Harviestown Baron 

 (136,965), a thick, naturally fleshed member of the 

 Butterfly family by Prime Favourite (106,546). This 

 fine bull unfortunately damaged his head and neck in 

 a barbed-wire fence. At this year's Perth sales the 

 West Inchmichael junior secured a grand young bull 

 in Mr Bertram Shields' May-born dark roan Eoysterer 

 of the Secret family, and by Wallace of Naemoor 

 (139,980). Mr Morrison has made a highly promising 

 start. 



Waterybutts, a Carse property acquired and 

 beautified many years ago by the late Mr Patrick 

 Hunter, and now owned by Mr Wm. S. Mackie, is 

 quite hid in its orchards. Here Mr Mackie has sought 

 recreation from business by setting Shorthorns as 

 variants against fruit. He began to collect his cattle 

 in 1915. From Mr Wilson of Davidson, Newtyle, he 

 bought Ramsden Blush, a red with little white, by 

 Findon Veteran (98,621) from a dam by Red Granite 

 (106,726), and Lady Fanny 3rd, a red Mary o' Argyll 

 by Sir Randolph (113,368). The following year, he 

 took a finely bred roan Myrtle cow from Rothiebris- 

 bane, sire Golden Sittyton (105,643), dam by Pride of 

 the Herd (100,007). Then he added a very pretty 

 dark roan Golden Drop yearling from Boquhan, sired 

 by Collynie King Royal (114,768), a two-year-old red 

 Butterfly by Bystander (119,298) from Abbey Mains, 

 a red Shethin Lovely yearling by Nigel of Cluny
