226 APPENDIX, 



FATTING SCOTCH CATTLE. 



A comparative Statement of the Procefs, Expence and Profit 

 attending three different Kinds of Scotch Cattle, grazed in 

 Norfolk, particularly the Galloway Scot, for which I am 

 indebted to Mr. Burton, of Hemp nail. 



'F the Scotch cattle, there are three forts which require 

 confederation. The firft is a bullock bought at St. Faith's for 

 about gl. turned of four years old, in fuch condition as is 

 fit to be put immediately to turnips — this bullock is fuppofed 

 to be brought to from fifty to fifty-two ftone. He is put to> 

 turnips for about twenty-four weeks, the average expence of 

 which, including turnips, carriage and attendance, and in 

 cafe of bad weather, when a little hay is ufually given, be- 

 fides the ftraw, cannot be reckoned lefs than 4s. per week, 

 this brings him to 13I. 16s. and fuch a bullock generally will 

 fetch about 5 s. 6d. per ftone of 14 lbs. which amounts to 

 14I. 16s. 



The fecond bullock is bought quite lean, about the fame 

 time as the former, for about 61. and is a year younger than 

 the former. He is firft put into flubble or ordinary grafs till 

 the ftraw yard is open, and then he is put to ftraw at night, 

 and eats the offal turnips after the better beaft in the day- 

 time: — his keep in this way, twenty-four weeks, till May-day, 

 may be fet at is. 6d. per week ; he fhould then be put to 

 marfti or into good pafture till a fortnight after Michaelmas, 

 ■which, fay twenty-eight weeks, at 2s. 3d. per week, is 3I. 3 s. ; 

 he then goes to turnips, like the former bullock, for eight 

 weeks, at 3s. which is il. 4s. ; his aggregate charge is thert 

 12I. 3s. — his weight may be expefted to be forty-four ftone, 

 "and value 12I. 2s,
