The breed of Norfolk is the Herefordlhire 

 breed in miniature ; except that the chine and 

 the quarter of the Norfolk breed are more 

 frequently deficient. 



This, however, is not a general imperfec- 

 tion. I have feen Norfolk fpayed heifers feitt 

 to Smithficld, as w^ell laid up, and as full in 

 their points, as Galloway or Highland " Scots" 

 ufually are ; and, if the London butchers be 

 judges of beef, there is no hzxxtr fiefioed beafls 

 fent to Smithfield-market. 



Thefe two qualifications; namely, the fu- 

 perior quality of their flefli, and their fatting 

 freely at an early age, do away every folid ob- 

 iedllon to their fize and form. Neverthelefs, 

 it might be advifeable to endeavour to improve 

 the latter ; provided thofe two far fuperior 

 quali-fications were not by that means injured. 

 But it pnight be wrong to attempt to increafe 

 the former, which feems to be perfectly well 

 adapted to the Norfolk foil. 



The medium weight of a well-fatted three- 

 year-old is forty ilone ("of fourteen pounds
