The Long-horned or Lancashire Breed 



is common in Lancafhire, Weftmorland, and Cumber- 

 land, and fome of the neighbouring counties ; and, not- 

 withftanding the changes which have taken place by the 

 introduction of foreign kinds, there is reafon to believe, 

 that this, for a confiderable time at leaft, has been the 

 prevailing itock of the kingdom at large. 



Mr Marfhall, in his excellent treatife on the « Eco- 

 nomy of the Midland Counties," obferves, that, from 

 this kind, the prefent improved breed of cattle, in Lei- 

 cefterfhire, is traceable, by the mod indifputable evi- 

 dence. From Bulls brought out of Weftmorland and 

 Lancafhire, and Cows from the banks of the Trent, the 

 celebrated Canley breed, the property of Mr Webfter, de- 

 rived its origin ; and about fifty years ago, it was efteem- 



by Mr Smith, of Togfton, in the fame county, killed in January, 

 1792, weighed 150 ft. 31b. : Fore quarters 65 ft. 4 lb. hind quarters 

 63 ft. 7 lb. tallow 15 ft, ix lb. hide 6 ft. 81b.-— 141b. to the ftone.
