THE KEILLOR HERD. 109 



breasted Jock 2 ; Keillor 231, calved 1852, sire Old Jock 1. 

 It is probable that the date of calving of some of these is 

 inaccurately stated, and we may note that while the last- 

 named is given in the list of her produce as one of the 

 calves of Old Grannie, the dam is not specifically stated 

 in the entry of Keillor 231. The blood of Old Grannie 1 

 circulates in the male line in many existing tribes of 

 cattle, and she has also several living female descendants. 

 In 1839, Mr Ferguson, Kinnochtry, obtained from Mr 

 Watson two of Old Grannie's daughters Young Favourite 

 61 and Edinburgh 64 and they are now worthily repre- 

 sented by the Kinnochtry Princesses, Baronesses, and 

 Emilys, to whom reference is made in other portions of 

 the work. Another daughter of Old Grannie, Lady Clara 

 4, was bought by Mr M'Combie of Tillyfour, from whom 

 her daughter Mariana 622 passed into the possession of 

 Mr M'Combie of Easter Skene. 



We are glad to say there are still numerous descendants 

 of the Keillor cows Old Favourite (who has not been 

 registered in the ' Herd Book '), and her daughter Favourite 

 2, respecting the identity of whom there has been some 

 confusion which it is impossible to completely unravel. 

 Favourite 2 was bought by Mr Ferguson, Kinnochtry ; and 

 Old Favourite was sold to Mr Bowie in 1848, but she left 

 no female produce at Mains of Kelly, although she was the 

 dam of Mr Bowie's bull Earl Spencer 2nd 25. Old Favour- 

 ite, we may here recall, was the dam of Old Jock 1 and Angus 

 45. From Favourite 2, Mr Ferguson's Favourite family is 

 directly descended. Octavia 331 was bought by the Earl 

 of Southesk at Mr Watson's sale at Auchtertyre in 1853 

 for 44, being entered in the catalogue as after Old Jock 

 and out of Old Favourite. Octavia is without female 

 representative, but her blood is still preserved by the 

 stock descended from her in the male line, particularly 

 in the Kinnochtry, Mountblairy, and Montbletton herds.
