“THE GENERAL PURPOSE COW.”
The following is the description of an ideal general-purpose cow : She’s long in her face, she’s fine in her horn, She’ll quickly get fat without cake or corn ; She’s clean in her jaws, and full in her chine, She’s heavy in flank, and wide in her loin ; She’s broad in her ribs, and long in her rump, A straight and flat back, without.; even a hump ; 5 She’s wide in her hips, and calm in her eyes, She’s fine in her shoulders, and thin in her thighs ; She’s light in her neck, and small in her tail, She’s wide in her breast, and good at the pail ; She’s fine in her bone, and silky of skin, She’s a grazier’s without and a bucher’s within.
