Hijiiilancl bull. Laoich 12C0. The property of J. R. Campbell. Sliimiess. 

 Scctlaud. A winner of numerous first and champion prizes at the Royal 

 Agricultural Society Show of England and the Highland Agricultural Society 

 Show of Scotland. The upper illustration shows this bull when champion of 

 the breed at two years of age, while the lower one shows him again when in the 

 same honored position at six years of age. A comparison of these photographs, 

 both taken by Reld, is very instructive as they clearly indicate the develop- 

 ment which takes place as a bull approaches maturity. 



DESCRIPTION OF HIGHLAND CATTLE 



'PrilS BREED which comes from the highlands of Scotland is noted especially 

 for their robustness and the high quality of the meat which they produce 

 In type they exemplify the characteristics which we associate with constitution, 

 being very deep and full chested, strong and rugged framed with a dense and 

 long coat which protects them from the exposure to mountain conditions. The 

 head is somewhat shaggy with bright, piercing eye and the horns strong and long. 

 The neck is short the chest deep and full and the fore quarter shows unusual devel- 

 opment especially in the region of the vital organs. The back is long and level and 

 the quarter well covered and lengthy. The general form is massive and the gen- 

 eral appearance of ruggedness is added to by a thick shaggy coat of various shades 

 of i.;uu, black and sometimes brindle in color.
