The drovers do not bring their whole flock 

 on to the " Bullock Hill" at once ; but let 

 them remain in the paftures until they are 

 wanted ; nor do they bring very large droves 

 at once into the country ; but keep them back 

 in Lincolnshire, or perhaps in Scotland, until 

 they fee how the demand is likely to prove.

 ibme thoufands every year into this country. 



The larger bullocks are principally of the 

 Galloway polled breed, and moft of. them very 

 handfome ; in general four or five years old ; 

 Jiioilly black, Ibme brindled, foine dun, and 

 ibme few red. (See article BULLOCKS, Vol. I.)
