A century of close contact with the most exacting requirements of the farm and feed-lot has only deepened the hold of the 'red, white and roan upon the affections of the agricultural world. The source of this perennial prosperity must be apparent even to the most casual observer. The strength of the Shorthorn lies in its unrivaled range of adaptability; in the facility with which it responds to the varied demands of those who pursue a system of diversified farming - the rearing of live stock as an essential feature in a well ordered scheme of mixed husbandry. The Shorthorn is distinctly and emphatically a dual-purpose breed." - A. H. Sanders in Shorthorn Cattle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
