202 EXISTING SCOTCH HERDS. 



Tulloch, the cow Nightingale 1742, with bull-calf at foot, 

 for £33, 12s. Barmaid 2207 was bought from Mr Walker, 

 Portlethen, and has proved a good breeder. Lively of 

 Powrie 3729 was purchased from Mr Scott, Easter Tulloch ; 

 and a few other cows were added. The first stock-bull Mr 

 Smith had was Timour 3rd 1287, bought from Captain Grant 

 of Ecclesgreig, for £36. He was a good bargain — most of 

 his stock having been prize-winners — and he was sold fat 

 for £36. Northesk 1577, after Timour 3rd and out of Bessie 

 1442, was also used. Animals from the herd have been 

 exhibited only at the county shows of Kincardine and 

 Forfar, and they have been very fortunate — a good many 

 prizes having been gained.
