Fig. 68. Hereford heifer. One of tlie leading beef breeds, dark red and white in color. The white 

 face, back stripe and underline constitute a pattern which has a tendency to dominate in crosses. (See 

 Fig. 80a.) Like the short-horn, its principal rival as a beef breed, this breed arose in England. 



Fig. 69. Dutch belted or " Lakenfeld " bull. Bred for three centuries for this chanut eristic pattern 

 by aristocratic families of Holland. Probably derived from the same original general stock as the cattle 

 of Holstein farther east, but selected more closely for color pattern to which productiveness has been 

 sacrificed.
