Dairy stock; its selection, diseases, and produce, with a description of the Brittany breed dairystockitssel00gamg Year: 1861 guenon's system. 57 the tuft, and that it is therefore prudent to assume that cows with the perinseum shaved are bad.' Guenon says, that the importance of the scutcheon is sometimes diminished, and at others increased by the different tufts which are usually met with, according to their form, nature, position, and extent. With the exception of the oval ones, seen at fig. 10, all tufts en- croaching on the scutcheon diminish its value, or in other words indicate a diminished aptitude for yielding milk. Another tuft serves to distinguish the good from the bastard cows. It exists on either side of the vulva, as seen in fig. 11. When the scutcheon is well formed and fine, the individual bearing it belongs to the first or second order of its class; but when the scutcheon is occupied over a portion of its surface by certain epis or tufts, the ani- mals descend one or more orders in the classification.
