192 STOCK IMPORTED BY 



in Doonholm, and took the county prize at Dairy, in 1845. His 

 dam was considered the best cow in the stock. Young Bauldy 

 is full brother to ' Dainty Davie/* sire of 



" Prince Albert, also bred by Mr. McGregor, dam a very su- 

 perior milker, with a well formed body and well set udder. 

 She took the second prize at Kilbride show, in 1844, open to 

 Great Britain and Ireland. Prince Albert is at this date (July 

 22d, 1845,) thirteen months old. 



"As the merits of some members of 'Prince Albert's' family 

 may, perhaps, be interesting, I append notices of those famed 

 bulls, ' Geordie,' and ' Jock the Laird,' from the same Swinley 

 breed. 



" Geordie, brother to £ Bauldy,' and great uncle to ' Prince 

 Albert,' was bred by Mr. Robert Logan, West Mains, Kilburnie, 

 dam bred by Mr. William Walker, Langlands, Kilburnie. One 

 day's milk of this cow produced thirty ounces of butter, and the 

 trial was made when she was twelve years old. She was descend- 

 ed from the Swinley stock. ' Geordie' gained the Highland So- 

 ciety's first prize for two year olds at Glasgow ; the first prize 

 when three years old, at Dairy, in 1839 ; the Highland Society's 

 first prize at Inverness, in the same year. He never was beaten, 

 and competed every year so long as he lived. 



" Jock the Laird, grandsire of ' Prince Albert' by the mother's 

 side, a true specimen of the Ayrshire breed, was shown oftener 

 than any bull in the west of Scotland ; never beaten but once, 

 by c Geordie,' when three years old, or under. A list of his 

 prizes I cannot lay my hands upon, but they are well known to 

 be numerous. His stock is very superior. The first and third 

 prizes in the two year old class, were his offspring. The first 

 prize two year old, could have been sold for £45, but the owner 

 refused the sum. 



" The above pedigree and facts have been compiled from 

 documents in possession of the Secretary of the General Agri- 

 cultural Association, for Ayrshire, and kindly lent me by that 

 gentleman for the purpose.

* Dainty Davie was sold when eighteen months old, and sent to England : can say noth- 

 ing: about his stock there.
