HERD NOTICES 183 



by Cornelius (66,804), a full brother to tbe champion 

 Corner Stone. A red Lady Dorothy heifer by Col- 

 lynie Grand Knight (119,549) from Mains of Sanquhar, 

 and a splendidly-bred red Nonpareil from Eosehaugh 

 and by Collynie Matadore (111,337), rounded Mr 

 Shields' leading purchases up to the end of 1917. In 

 1918 he added a very finely bred red yearling, 

 Brawith Bud, from Mr A. J. Marshall's Penrith lot, 

 the sire of that heifer being Broadhooks Diamond 

 (124,530), her dam being by Royal Luxury (106,919). 



At the outset Mr Shields had access to the Dalmeny 

 stock bulls. One result has been noted in the prize- 

 winning Rubicon. A daughter of the Lex of Cluny 

 cow, Doune Broadhooks 2nd, mated with Sanquhar 

 Grand Courtier (139,193), then owned by the Earl of 

 Moray, afterwards the property of Captain Fletcher, 

 bred the Perth first-prize bull of 1919, D.S.O., for 

 which Capt. Macgillivray paid 3300 gs. 



In the meantime Mr Shields has about a score of 

 cows and 36 females in all, but ere long his breeding 

 standard may range from 25 to 30 cows. Last year he 

 had five Princess Royals, and three each of the Secret, 

 Orange Blossom, Clipper, and Broadhooks families; two 

 each of the Crocus, Violet, Claret, Lavender, Butterfly, 

 Nonpareil, Queen of Rothes, and Rosebud lines of 

 breeding ; and singles of the Lady Dorothy, Miss 

 Ramsden, Rosewood, and Brawith Bud families. The 

 most important of recent purchases in the female line 

 is the magnificent roan heifer calf Naemoor Zoe 2nd, 

 for which he paid 1400 gs. at the Aberdeen autumn 

 sale. This remarkable calf is by Edgcote Masterpiece
