A good judge, however, would perceive that they are larger, somewhat longer in the leg, thinner in the shoulder, and flatter in the side. Climate and management have caused another difference between the Angus doddies and the Galloways. The Galloways have a moist climate ; they have a more robust appearance, a much thicker skin, and a rougher coat of hair than the Angus oxen. The Angus cattle are regularly kept in straw-yards during six months of the year, receiving turnips with their fodder every day, and in summer are grazed on diy and warm pastures.
