Elements of farm practice, prepared Elements of farm practice, prepared especially for teaching elementary agriculture; elementsoffarmpr01wils Year: 1915 184 ELEMENTS OF FARM PRACTICE by their color, red with white faces. They are sometimes called '^Whitefaces.' Aberdeen Angus cattle originated in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They are polled (hornless) cattle, jet black in color.

Gallo- ways, another black polled breed of cattle, were originated in the hilly section of southwest Scotland. They have very short legs, heavy shaggy coats of hair, are very rugged and inclined to be wild. They are smaller than the Aberdeen Angus cattle, do not mature quite so young, but make a very good quality of beef. Daily Breeds have been selected especially for large milk production. Compared with beef cattle, they are more angular in form, with narrow backs, thin necks, large udders, and tend to produce milk rather than to lay on flesh. These breeds are well adapted to farms where milk is the chief product desired. They are generafly lighter in weight than the beef breeds. Holsteins are the largest of the dairy breeds, are black and white spotted in color and give the largest amount of milk per cow of any breed. Their milk tests low in butter-fat. They originated in Holland, and are gaining great popularity in this country. Guernseys
