From photograph by the author hundred—within five cents of the highest price ever paid up to this time on this market for range-bred cattle of any breed, show- yard animals alone excepted. The Galloway cow ia milk production is little known so far as records are concerned. The claim is generally made that the cows give a good yield of rich milk, yet one finds very little infor- mation regarding the Galloway as a milker when consulting the literature of the breed or comparative tests of cows of different breeds. The fact is, Galloway advocates emphasize the value of the breed in beef production and scarcely comment on the milk- producing factor. The cow Rosy 4th is reported to have pro- duced 42|- pounds of milk in a day, testing per cent fat. Digitized by Microsoft®.
