Highland bull, LAOICH 1260. The property of J. R. Campbell, Shin- 

 ness, Scotland. A winner of numerous first and champion prizes at the 

 Royal Agricultural Society Show of England and the Highland Agricul- 

 tural Society Show of Scotland. The upper illustration shows this bull 

 when champion of the breed at two years of age, while the lower one 

 shows him again when in the same honored position at six years of age. 

 A comparison of these photographs, both taken by Reid, is very instruc- 

 tive as they clearly indicate the development which takes place as a 

 bull approaches maturity. 



DESCRIPTION OF HIGHLAND CATTLE. 



nnHIS BREED which comes from the highlands of Scotland is noted espe- 

 cially for their robustness and the high quality of the meat which they 

 produce. In type they exemplify the characteristics which we associate with 

 constitution, being very deep and full chested, strong and rugged framed 

 with a dense and long coat which protects them from the exposure to moun- 

 tain conditions. The head is somewhat shaggy with bright, piercing eye and 

 the horns strong and long. The neck is short the chest deep and full and 

 the fore quarter shows unusual development especially in the region of the 

 vital organs. The back is long and level and the quarter well covered and 

 lengthy. The general form is massive and the general appearance of rugged- 

 ness is added to by a thick shaggy coat of various shades of dun, black and 

 sometimes brindle in color.
