INVERNESS, 18i6. 423 



Dundee, 1843. 



Bull, PaNiMUKe 51, bred by Lord Panmure, exhibited 

 by William Pullerton, Mains of Ardovie, Forfarshire. 



Cow, bred by Lord Panmure, exhibited by Colonel 

 Dalgairris of Balgavies. 



Panmure has been described as " the Hubback of the 

 polled breed." Perhaps the complete accuracy of the 

 phrase may be q^uestioned by some ; but of this, at all 

 events, there can be no doubt, that Panmure 51 stands 

 in the same relation to the polled herds north of the 

 Grampians that Hubback holds in reference to the early 

 Shorthorn herds. A full description of his breeding is 

 given in another page. After his success at Dundee, he 

 passed into the possession of Mr Parquharson Taylor, 

 Wellhouse, Aberdeenshire, in whose herd he was emi- 

 nently useful, and to whom he gained numerous prizes. 



Colonel Dalgairns' first-prize cow has not been entered 

 in the ' Herd Book.' A daughter of hers. Lady Ingliston 60, 

 belonged to Mr. Ferguson, Kinnochtry. It was a striking 

 testimony to the excellence of the stock bred by Lord 

 Panmure, that in the very close competition at Dundee 

 this year, animals bred by him secured the two leading 

 prizes of the show. 



At the shows at Glasgow in 1844 and Dumfries in 

 1845, prizes were offered only for oxen of the polled 

 Aberdeen or Angus breed.
