CATTLE. 



Mr. Youatt, contradicting Berry in his claim of the value of this 

 alloy blood, says, (page 99,) " The dam of Lady was Phoenix, also 

 the dam of the bull Favorite, and as the Grandson of liolingbroke is 

 not known to have been the sire of any other remarkably good ani- 

 mal, it is most piobable that the unquestionable merit of Lady and 

 her descendants is to be attributed more to her dam than to her 

 sire." 



This account of the Gallow^ay cioss was derived from Mr. Bates, 

 of Kirkleavington, who had it from Mr. Colling, and knew it of his 

 own knowledge. 



Mr. Berry barely names Mr. Robert Colling, and gives only a 

 summary of his sale. R. Colling was quite as distinguished as his 

 brother Charles, and bred cattle at least as good. When C. Col- 

 hng sold his cattle in 1810, all was inflation and war prices. Robert's 

 sale was in 1818, amidst the depression of the agricultural interest, 

 consequent on a return of peace. Compared with the other agri- 

 cultural prices of the two periods, Robert's sale was higher in prices 

 than Charles's. R. Colling's and Sir Henry Vane Tempest's sales 

 are given. In Mr. R. Colling's, one cow brought 370, within 40 

 guineas of Mr. C. Colling's highest priced cow; and one bull 621 

 guineas, far higher than any one in C). Colling's sale except Comet. 

 All agricultural products were in 1810 double the prices of 1818.
