BASTAKD OF THE HOMZOSTAL 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 dovmward ; no growth of ascending hair is to he found upon 

 the parts vrhere the escutcheon- occurs in the other Classes, and in the Genuine 

 Cow of this Class. 



Some of these Bastards are excellent milkers, so long as they are not iihpreg- 

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

 go dry. Thos6 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 thesle parts are covered tv'ith a 

 scanty growfh of coarse hair.
