A Typical Beef Animal 



favorite cattle for beef, and more of them are raised in the United 

 States than any other breed, a dairy type is being bred which is making 

 remarkable records. With many they are regarded as ideal for general 

 purposes. Several varieties of Shorthorns have been developed, all 

 possessing splendid qualities. It is indeed difficult for the farmer to 

 decide between the Herefords and Shorthorns as to the best breed, as 

 both breeds have been developed in the United States to a high state of 

 perfection. 



Galloways 



Galloway cattle take their name from a district in Scotland where 

 the breed took its origin. They are hornless and entirely black in 

 color. On account of their long, thick hair, which is almost a fur, they 

 are adapted to cold climates. They are especially adapted to the 

 western plains on account of their ability to rustle and endure cold. 

 In size they are slightly under the other breeds mentioned. The 

 meat, while it is not so fat, is regarded as excellent.
