BASTARD 0? THE HORIZONTAL CUT COW. 



The Bastards of this Class have no escutcheon whatever. The entire space 

 from the vulva to the udder, and on the inner surface of the thighs, is covered 

 with hair growing downward ; no growth of ascending hair is to be found upon 

 the parts where the escutcheon occurs in the other Classes, and in the Genuine 

 Cow of this Class. 



jgBpme of these Bastards are excellent milkers, so long as they are not impreg- 

 . mHl ; but so soon as they are got with calf, or a very short time afterward, they 

 go dry. Those in whom the hair on the inner surface of the thighs is thick and 

 very fine, will be found to give good rich milk. The reverse holds in regard to 

 the quality of the milk yielded by those in whom these parts are covered with a 

 scanty growth of coarse hair.
