Tracing the evolution Of breeds Is
always Interesting. Someone has been
figuring out the pedigree Of the so
called native" COW Of this country
and brings 70 the light some old facts
that are worth recording. As early as
1911 dairy COWS were brought to Viz
gInia from England and Is years late-
there vas an importation into the Ply
mouth colony. This was 10 1924
These COWS were brought from Devon
shire. England. and were doubtless o.
the same stock as that from which the
Devon breed was developed az a later
period. This probably accounts for
the predominance Of red color IN the
native New England cattle Whether
or not the Virginia cows were from
the same locality We DO not know for
a certainty. At a little later period
evidently cattle we're imported into
Virginia from Spain. These cattle

tied New York. naturally brought
cows from their own country. Some
Of these are known to have come from
an Island OF the coast OF Holland
That was before the development OF
fixed breeds even IN Holland. but We
may fairly infer that they were re-
lated 70 the pr0genitors Of the Dutch
belted cattle. Delaware was provided
with cattle from Sweden. and It Is said
that from Denmark we're brought the
cattle that became famous IN New
Hampshire Coming down 10 reTolu-
tiOnary times we and that cattle had.
at that date. been previously imported
from Great Britain and Ireland in con
siderable numbers. Some OF these, we
know from tradition. were white
DuThams. especially white Durham
bulls The general mixup OF all OF
these breeds. which subsequently took
place. gave Us the almost endless va
riety NJ form and color now seen IN
American cattle.
