Text Appearing Before Image:
Swiss cattle that have been brought to this country, mostof them within the past ten years, have given very good satisfac-tion. They possess superior dairy qualities, are of medium size, andfatten readily. They are of various colors in their native country,but those that have been imported into the United States havebeen of a dun or mouse color. TEXAN CATTLE. The cattle that for centuries have grazed on the plains of Texasand the adjacent countries, and more recently been used exten-sively as nuclei of breeding herds in more northern regions, arebelieved to be descendants of cattle brought over by the originalSpanish settlers. They are a large, coarse, raw-boned breed; active,hardy, slow in coming to maturity, take on fat sparingly, and areespecially remarkable for their immense horns. Their colors varyfrom a light dun or pale yellowish red to black, with various mark-ings of white. The illustration on the opposite page is a thoroughlyrepresentative picture of the typical Texan steer.

CHAPTER XIX. THE BREEDS OF SHEEP. Sheep are commonly classified according to the characteristicsof fleece. Thus results the terms fine wool, long wool, middle wool,so familiar in breeding and exhibition circles.

MERINOS. The origin of the fine-wool sheep — the Merino in its severalvarieties — so far antedates any known history as to preclude thepossibility of enlightenment upon that point beyond what is furnishedby conjecture. However interesting
