and is particularly numerous in the United 

 States, Canada, Australia and South America. 

 They are one of the largest beef breeds. As 

 the name indicates, they have short horns, flesh- 

 colored muzzles and may be red, red and white, 

 white, or roan in color. 



2. Here fords are natives of Herefordshire, 

 England. They have disseminated widely and, 

 owing to their hardiness, have been used on the 

 ranges in this and other countries in great num- 

 bers. They have rather large horns, flesh-colored 

 muzzles, and have for a color some shade of red 

 with white faces or heads and white along the 

 underline. 



3. Aberdeen Angus Cattle are natives of north- 

 east Scotland. They have been popular at a 

 later date than the above-mentioned breeds, and 

 owe their popularity to their excellent killing 

 qualities. They are hornless, and black in color, 

 with possibly a bit of white on the underside of 

 the body. 



4. Galloway Cattle have southwestern Scot- 

 land for their home. They have not been dis- 

 seminated as widely as the other breeds, but are 

 improving in beef quality and increasing in 

 popularity. They are hornless cattle, black in 

 color, with some white on the underside of the 

 body. They differ from the Aberdeen Angus 

 in not being as thick-fleshed, and in having a 

 longer coat of hair, which is wavy.
