Other important Shorthorn breeders who assisted in establish- 

 ing the breed were Christopher Mason of Chilton ; Jonas Whit- 

 taker of Otley near Leeds ; Wetherell of Aldborough ; Sir Charles 

 Knightley of Fawsley Park, Daventry, and William Torr of Riby 

 and Aylesby, all of England ; these men, and more recently J. 

 Deane Willis of Bapton Manor, Codford, had an important influ- 

 ence during the past century. In Scotland, besides Cruickshank, 

 Robertson of Ladykirk, the first Scotch breeder of Shorthorns ; 

 John Rennie of Phantassie, Haddington ; Captain Barclay of

 Duff of Eden, Aberdeen ; William Hay of Shethin, Tarves ; 

 Sylvester Campbell of Kinellar ; W. S. Marr of Uppermill ; and 

 William Duthie of Collynie, Tarves, materially added to the fame 

 of the Shorthorn breed. 



Individual foundation Shorthorns of interest date back early 

 into the eighteenth century. In the establishment of the many 

 families or tribes of Shorthorns during much over a century it 

 is but natural that very many animals of great merit and influ- 

 ence on the breed should have existed. Only a few of these can 

 be referred to here, and these of very early days. The Studley 

 Bull (626), dropped in 1737, is known as one of the very first 

 important Shorthorn breeding bulls. James Brown's Red Bull 

 (97), a descendant of the Studley Bull, met with much success 

 as a breeder of foundation stock. The bull Hubback (319) is 

 regarded by some as the founder of the Shorthorn breed. He 

 was calved in 1777 and was a yellowish red with some white. 

 He was sired by Snowdon's Bull (612) and was a direct descend- 

 ant of the Studley Bull (626). His dam was a cow of Stephen- 

 son's breeding of an old tribe. Hubback was owned by various 

 persons, but his fame is chiefly due to his services when owned 

 by Robert Colling and later by Charles, who paid about $40 for 

 him. Charles Colling used him two years and then sold him 

 in 1785 to a Mr. Hubback in Northumberland, from whom he 

 got his name. Hubback sired some very fine heifers at Ketton, 

 one of which, Haughton, bred to Richard Barker's Bull (52), 

 produced the bull calf Foljambe (263) which became a great 

 breeder. A son of his, Bolingbroke (86), and a daughter, Phoenix, 

 mated, produced the bull Favorite (262), one of the most famous
