Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Improved Short-Horn: Or Durham Cattle, and of the Kirklevington Herd, From the Notes of the Late Thomas Bates
The production of beef and mutton did not enter into the speculations of the ancient writers or the calcula tions of agriculturists; but in the last century animal food became more important than the profits derived from the use of cattle for draught purposes, or for the produce of the dairy.
