smaller than the Shorthorns and the
Herefords, but this is more appar-
ent than real. for they weigh heavier
than they look. as males frequently
weigh upwards of 1000 pounds.
AS a whole, the breed natures
early and reared under proper con-
ditions make excellent feeders. On
short pastures they may still retain
their smooth appearance. but do not
obtain the desired size OF frame, and
under such conditions may not make
as good feeders as the Shorthorns
or Herefords, which make larger
frames.
Their grazing and rustling quail
ties, are medium, being about on
line in this respect with Shorthorns.
The proportion OF dressed carcass to
live weight is large and the retail
butcher is very partial to the car

OF loose fat and bone
