BREEDS OF CATTLE—III.
Something About the Leading Beef Breeds—Shorthorn History
and Cliara cteristies.
By Tait Butler.
orn,GiALi beet breeds which
I have become popular in this
-i- country are the Hereford, Ab
erdeen-Angus and Shorthorn. The
Galloways, while a special-purpose
beef breed, have never become nu
merous in any section of America.
There are both horned and polled
Herefords, although the latter have
never taken a prominent place in
beef production. The Shorthorns
are also—certain families of them,
at least—sometimes classed both as
a beef breed and as dual-purpose an
imals. A polled variety—known as
Polled Durhams—also exists and has
achieved considerable prominence,
although differing little from the
come the most popular and numer
ous beef breed.
The great adaptability of the
Shorthorn to different climates and
conditions is shown by their exten
sive distribution all over the globe
and the predominating influence
which the breed exerts in many beef
producing countries. A large major
ity of the beef animals, of special
beef breeding, which are found in the
large markets of this country are
Shorthorns or Shorthorn grades.
In color, Shorthorns are red or
white, or some combination of these
two colors, mixed colors, or red and
white spotted and roans, being com
mon. The red-roan color In cattle is

standard Shorthorn, except In the
absence of horns.
For all practical purposes, how
ever, there are but the three special
purpose beef breeds of sufficient
prominence in American beef pro
duction to merit our special consid
eration: Hereford, Aherdeen-Angus
and Shorthorn.
In the South the Shorthorn is still
frequently spoken of as “Durham."
The breed is not now known by that
name among up-to-date live stock
men. The old .iame was Durham or
Shorthorn Durham, but the Durham
has long since become obsolete, ex
cept as applied to the polled variety.
Shorthorns have been in this coun
try nearly 100 years and have be
said to be positive evidence of Short
horn blood. In the South one may
hear the pure breeding of an animal
of this breed questioned on the
ground that it is not pure red or
nearly so. While this Is absurd, it
may be stated that In the past there
have been times when the red color
was so much more popular, even with
breeders, that the breed suffered ns
a consequence. While red Is still
preferred by many, roans especially
are generally more popular than In
the past. Pure-white Shorthorns are
not uncommon, but are generally not
as popular as reds, red and white, or
roans. Uniformity in color Is al
ways desirable and the lack of It in
Shorthorns is one of the objections -
