This the Dairy Shorthorn Association proved by its instructions to the judges it nominated. There is plenty of evidence to show that it was these qualities of the early Short- horns that had made them invaluable to English husbandmen. For instance, the average farmer would have nothing to do with the bulls of the purely beef type. At the public auction-sales of such cattle he would let wholesale butchers buy truck-loads of young bulls, sires that were not good enough for the foreign market. The... expenses of exportation were great, as insurance was very high 1, and so only first-rate animals, capable of be- coming the sires of bulls, were exported. The colour factor, again, led to a great number of bulls being available for the home-market. Although the exporter was buying sires to beget the breeding stock that was to reproduce purely commercial beef animals, he was most particular about the pigmentation of the hair. I remember hearing a partner of the greatest auctioneer of my time, in conversation at the Royal Show at Park Royal, telling how his colleague had had the dressed skin of a famous Shorthorn bull sent to him all the way from Chili so that he might execute a commission to export animals of exactly the same colour.
