mated with a black Angus or Galloway will sometimes 

 produce a black and sometimes a blue-roan calf ; as in- 

 stances of the former, Mr. Ealph B. Goodhue, of Don- 

 nelly, Minn., writes: 



I have had a (Vw animals cross-bred between Angus and Shorthorn 

 and in every instance have the offspring been black, sire and dams pure 

 bred animals. I have bred 31/32 Holstein cows to red Shorthorn bulls 

 and about 65 per cent, have been red-and-white, the rest being black- 

 and-white, more black than white in markings. In breeding grade 

 Shorthorn cows to pure bred Holstein hulls, have got black and white 

 offspring. In the Hereford-Shorthorn, the red Shorthorn bred with the 

 Hereford will most always give a mottled face on the offspring. The 

 roan Shorthorn cows bred to Hereford bulls will give either a calf 

 looking like a Hereford or a roan calf with clear white face.
