DESCRIPTION OF ABERDEEN ANC.TS CATTLE. 



Till 1 : characteristic color of this brec 1 of Scotch cattle is black without 

 any white beyond the udder or above the under line. The type of the 

 breed is favorable to the production of the highest quality of meat in the 

 greatest quantity. Smoothness is a leading feature, this being encouraged 

 by the type which is noted for the rotundity of form with symmetry and 

 quality, and it should be noticeable in the show animal by the evenness with 

 which the flesh covers the carcass over all regions. The head is hornless 

 without any appearance of scurs, and it should be surmounted by a sharp 

 poll ; neck free from loose skin with a strong shoulder vein ; shoulder oblique, 

 iitting close to the body and not rough at the top ; ribs deep, circular ; hips 

 moderately far apart, smoothly covered ; rump, long, level, smooth ; thighs 

 muscular, twist low and full ; quarters low, full and rounded. The general 

 form is cylindrical, covered with even depth of mellow flesh and hide that is. 

 pliable yet not thin, and coated with fine, black hair. See official scale of 

 points, page !)0.
