THE BREEDS OF CATTLE.
V.—Galloways and Sussex—Two Breeds Little Known in the
South.
B» Ttit Butler.
THE GALLOWAY is another
Scotch breed of black hornless
beef cattle which, to the aver
age person, appears to resemble quite
closely the Polled Angus. They have
the same type of short legs, and are
close to the ground, but carry a
heavier coat of hair, especially in
winter, which is more inclined to
curl. The body is longer and the ribs
somewhat flatter, giving a less round
and compact appearance. The head
is less pointed or peaked at the poll,
and the ears are set rather far back
and covered with long hair. Breadth
between the eyes and shortness from
eyes to muzzle are characteristic.
In the hind quarters, good length
of rump and heavy, well-fleshed low
er thighs are strong points.
As stated, the color Is black, but a
brownish or reddish tinge is not un
common nor objectionable, but white
or other color Is a disqualification.
The Galloways are regarded as re
markably hardy, but this quality ap
plies more especially to the condi
tions of a cold climate. We know
of no evidence to show that they will
not prove as hardy In a Southern cli
mate, but their native home and long
coat of fine, curly hair, Indicates an
adaptation to a cold climate.
The breed Is very prepotent, trans
mitting their characteristics to their
offspring to a high degree, thus mak
ing them valuable for crossing on
other breeds and the native cattle.
The famous blue-grays produced bv
crossing Shorthorn bulls on Gallo
way cows, take a high rank In the
English beef markets.
The qualify of Onlloway meat Is of
a high order and the per cent of
dressed carcass to live weight large,
often reaching from 6ft to 65 per
cent. In size the Galloway Is small
er than the Shorthorn and Hereford
and probably also somewhat smaller
than the Angus.
In milk production the breed has
no special quality, being strictly a
beef breed; but the cowb furnish am
ple milk for the rearing of their
calves.
The points of the Galloway which
have been criticised, or which ma'
be regarded as their weakness, are a
lack of spring and fullness of rib,
slackness of hack, and roughness a'
lail-head. They have also been ac
cused of not responding so promptly
to liberal feeding as the other beef
breeds. These criticisms do not ap
ply to the same extent to the modern
Galloways produced at the present
time by the best breeders, as to the
breed in years gone by, but even yet.
the Galloway probably does not ma
ture as early or fatten as rapidly dur
ing early life as the Shorthorns,
Herefords and Polled Angus.
THE SUSSEX.
The Sussex is an English breed of
red, horned, beef cattle. They are
natives of the south of Engl. id.
where the grazing is good. They
have never been largely imported or
A TYPICAL GALLOWAY.
Courtcuy R. W. Brown
bred la tbls coutry, but possess &
high order of merit as beef cattle
comparing favorably with the olhe
large beef breeds.
The color Is solid red, of rather a
deep shade; the horns are rather
long and large, and may Incline
downwards. The nose Is flesh-colored
In form, they are essentially of the
beef type, being blocky, with well
sprung ribs and large bodies. The
rump Is long and broad and thighs
thick and beefy.
In size the Sussex compare favor
ably with the Shorthorn and Here
fords, the latter of which they re
semble somewhat, except in me at>
8ence of the white color. Being
strictly a beef breed, the milking
qualities are of a low order, especial
ly as to quantity.
As crossers on native stock and In
early-maturing qualities, the Sussex
take high rank.
Compared with Devons, the Sussex
are larger and more of the beef or
blocky, fleshy type, give less milk and
have larger horns, and shorter or
thicker necks.
