part of the body. ‘The head is of medium size, with muzzle of 
buff or flesh color. The horns are white or amber colored, though 
often colored a deep yellow. They are of medium length, curving 
gracefully around inward and slightly upward. The neck is 
short and fine; the shoulders inclined to be angular; the ribs 
well-sprung and long, giving good capacity; and the rump long 
and level. The udder is large, extending up well behind, and 
showing more fore-udder development and larger teats than does 
the Jersey. The milk veins are large, crooked and long, entering 
the abdomen through large wells. Guernsey breeders lay special 
emphasis on a rich, yellow secretion of the skin, especially as seen 
in the ear, tip of tail, and about the udder (Fig. 48). 
186. Guernsey milk and butter-fat records. — The cows of 
this breed are noted for being retentive milkers, perhaps holding 
their flow better than any other breed, a good illustration of which 
is seen in the case of Spotswood Daisy Pearl, giving 24,675 pounds 
of milk and 1225.6 of fat in fifteen months.
