CATTLE 



been Surname, the dam of Scottish Archer (59833), prominent 

 as a sire in the herd of William Duthie at CoUynie. 



The Spicy tribe derives its name from the cow Spicy 4th, pur- 

 chased in 1868 from a Mr. Milne of Aberdeenshire. She had for 

 dam a most excellent cow named Spicy, by Marmaduke (14897). 

 Spicy 4th, bred to Champion of England, produced a very superior 

 cow named Silvery. From this not large family came a number of 

 high-class individuals, including the buhs Strongbow (52230) and 



Sea King (61769), the 

 former having been 

 used in service at Sit- 

 tyton. The bull Spicy 

 Robin (69638), in the 

 herd of J . Deane Willis 

 at Bapton Manor, Eng- 

 land, was of this family. 

 The Venus tribe de- 

 scends from a red heifer 

 of this name bought 

 in 1 84 1 at the sale of 

 Mr. Rennie in Forfar- 

 shire. Venus was by 

 Saturn (5089), bred by 

 Mr. Simpson, and her 

 dam. Dairymaid, traced 

 back to the Ladykirk 

 herd. From the cow Flora, by Fairfax Royal (6987), and her 

 granddaughter, Morning Star, by Champion of England (17526), 

 came some of the best representatives of the Venus tribe, which 

 was in favor with Mr. Cruickshank to the last. 



The Victoria tribe secured its start at Sittyton in the purchase 

 in Ireland, in 1853, by Anthony Cruickshank of the cow Victoria 

 19th, by Lord John (11731). She was sent to Mr. Hay's at 

 Shethin and bred to the Booth bull Red Knight (11976), from 

 which she dropped twin heifers, Victoria 29th and 30th. This 

 original stock was somewhat delicate, and neither mother nor 

 daughters bred well until mated to Champion of England. Vic- 

 toria 39th, out of Victoria 19th, by this bull, proved a valuable

leading Shorthorn sires in the herd of Carpenter 



and Ross, Mansfield, Ohio. This bull died in 1918.
