214 Report on the Agriculture of Sweden and Norway. 
succeeding report on Denmark ; therefore at present it is suf- 
ficient to state that it is a red breed, equally adapted for the 
production of milk and of meat, but not attaining special excel- 
lence in either respect. 
The average production of milk reported by jNIr. C. Ekman, 
of Finspong, as that of his well-kept Tondern herd, is 460 
gallons. The lean cows weigh, on an average, nearly 10 cwt. ; 
both they and the working-oxen are easily fattened, and then 
fetch nearly the same price, without distinction of sex. 
In the summer Mr. Ekman's cows pasture either in the mea- 
dows or on the aftermath of the artificial grasses. In the winter 
they each get per diem from 9 to 11 lbs. of hay, 4 lbs. of crushed 
oats, 1 lb. of oilcake, and straw.
