CATTLE. 



^^*=^ PfASE SC. 



THE ANGLESEY OX. 



The Angleysey cattle are principally destined for grazing. Great 

 numbers of them are purchased in the midland counties, and pre- 

 pared for metropolitan consumption ; and not a few find their way 

 directly to the vicinity of London, in order to be finished for the 

 market. In point of size, they hold an intermediate rank between 

 the English breeds of all kinds and the smaller varieties of Scotch 

 cattle ; and so they do in the facility with which they are brought 

 into condition. If they are longer in preparing for the market, they 

 pay more at last ; and, like the Scots, they thrive where an English 

 beast would starve.
