. The breeds of live-stock : by live-stock breeders . Livestock. 282 THE BREEDS OF LIVE-STOCK. Fig. 47. — Yovmg Holstein-Friesian bull. some are making annual records of 4, , and even as high as 5 per cent fat. The ideal type of this breed, which has become constant in North Holland and Friesland, is designated as " milk and beef ; This form inA'olves great breadth and length of rump; superior width of hips, with loin slightly rounded ; ^A' e 11 - s p r u n g ribs; rounded body, with the abdomen well held up ; a straight chine ; shoulders slightly lower than hips and rounded at tops, from whence the neck starts out leA-el, or nearly so, and is carried symmetrically to a finely formed throat and rather long head, Ijcaring a broad muzzle. It also involves comparatiA'c fineness of limbs, and quarters broad at sides and rear without puffi- ncss ; a capacious udder of considerable depth, carried well forward in front and well up in rear, and a large development of mammary veins. An animal of this form will appear slightly wedge-shaped, viewed both from front and side (Figs. 47, 48. Plate XI). This ideal type, however, varies with respect to locality.
