250 QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL souRNaAL. . [1 Sepr., 1899. 
spend their leisure time in carrying on desperate battles with each other. As 
far as fighting is concerned, this herd of bulls appeared to us as tame as a flock 
of sheep, even allowing the artist to walk towards them with his camera. 
It will undoubtedly be.of much interest to such of our readers who are 
engaged in cattle-breeding to examine the pedigrees of some of these grand 
sires. We therefore append a few culled from Mr. Allan’s herd-book. 
It should be mentioned that no disease has ever made its appearance in this 
herd ; the country also is perfectly clear of ticks. Still, all the bulls for sale 
are being inoculated, as purchasers who take them to tick-infested country 
require this to be done. 
No female cattle have ever been added by purchase or otherwise to the 
herd, except by breeding. 
One of the sires in use is Horace Wilton. This erand animal was 
purchased by Mr. Allan personally from the famous breeder of Hereford cattle, 
Mr. John Tudge, Herefordshire, England, just after the bull had taken first 
prize at Lord Tredegar’s show at Newport, in 1891, ina class of twenty-two 
young bulls.
