For some years a number of herds of Kerry and Dexter Cattle had existed in America. Finally the interest in these breeds developed to such an extent that an organization to pro- mote their interests, and care for their registration and transfer was thought a necessity. During the year 1910, Prof. C. S. Plumb, of the Ohio State University, sought by correspondence to ascertain something of the ownership and size of Kerry and Dexter herds in x\merica, and addressed letters to every person of whom he could learn owning these cattle. Less than 20 herds were located, but some of these were large and were actively engaged in development. In response to the request for views on forming an organization, the sentiment was very much in favor of doing this. It was not thought expedient to have a called meeting, owing to the small number of persons owning these cattle, and their wide distribution over the country. Consequently those breeders interested, effected an organization by means of correspondence and a mail vote. A temporary list of officers necessary for the transaction of business was suggested and these were balloted on by mail, in July, 191 1, with the follow- ing results : President' — G. M. Carnochan, New City, New York. Vice President — C. H. Berryman, Mgr. Elmendorf Farm. Lexington, Ky. Secretary-Treasurer — C. S. Plumb. Columbus, Ohio. Executive Committee — G. M. Carnochan. C. H. Berryman. C. S. Plumb, Maurice Molloy, Agt. Castlegould, Port Wash- ington, New York ; and B. Nason Hamlin, Boston, Mass. These officers were elected to serve until the membership could be represented in regular meeting at some future time, when conditions would permit a more formal organization. At the time of the election of officers. Articles of Association were adopted by mail vote, which will be found on page 17. A feature of publicity regarding Kerry and Dexter Cattle was undertaken by the secretary, in publishing bulletins from time to time, containing material of interest concerning these (9) lO AMERICAN KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE HERD BOOK. breeds, as well as answering inquiries from correspondents. Up to November 1920, nine bulletins of uniform character^ were published. Bulletin No. i is dated October, 191 1, and Bulletin No. 9 is dated November, 1920. These have been more or less freely distributed and should have served a useful pur- pose. It is unfortunate that funds have never been available for promoting these breeds into greater publicity. Just what the future of the Club is to be remains to be seen. Present conditions cannot long continue. An official or- ganization and election of officers must take place through a cooperative movement of the breeders, otherwise the present so-called Club must go out of existence. The one now acting as secretary feels that with the publication of this herd book, he has about completed his task, and that some one else should now assume the responsibility of the office. Careful records have been kept of all registrations and transfers, and a cash book in detail shows the financial transactions of the Club. All records are in shape to be placed in other hands that may be willing to look after Kerry and Dexter interests in America. Charles S. Plumb, Secretary-TreasitreJ'. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE KERRY TO AMERICA. Bv Charles S. Plumb. Comparatively little has been published concerning the Kerry or Dexter breeds of cattle, especially in America. Undoubtedly until recently, they were regarded as one and the same breed. The earliest record that the writer has discovered of the intro- duction of Kerry cattle to America, is a statement by Reuben Haines, of Germantown, Pennsylvania, in the Memoirs of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, published in 1824, in which he states that he had "imported from Ireland the celebrated Kerry cow." Mr. Sanford Howard of Boston, Mass. was probably one of the first importers of the Kerry to America. He visited Ireland in 1858 and 1859, and made an importation for Arthur W. Austin of West Roxbury, Mass. In an address before the Norfolk County Agricultural Society, Mr. Howard in 1859 <^^is- cussed the subject of cattle breeding. On this occasion inter- esting reference was made to his observations in Ireland, as applied to the Kerry. Said Mr. Sanford, quoting from the Report of the Mass. Board of Agriculture for 1859: "The Kerry breed belongs to the county of that name in Ireland, or more especially to the mountainous portion of that county, where they have probably existed coeval with the present race of human inhabitants. They are very different from the cattle which occupy the lower and more fertile sections of the island — the latter, as has already been observed, belonging to the Longhorn tribe, of large size, the horns drooping, sometimes crossing each other beneath the lower jaw. The Kerries, on the other hand, are small, with horns of medium length, rising, and generally somewhat spreading. The color ranges from black to brindled and red. sometimes with a little white, but black is the prevailing color, and is preferred as denoting the nearest affinity with the original type. The Kerry cow has always been considered remarkable as a milker. Youatt says 'she is emphatically the poor man's cow ; hardy, living every- where, yielding, for her size, abundance of milk of good quality.' Milburn says, *she is a treasure to the cottage farmer — so hardy that she will live where other cattle starve. She is a perfect (11) 12 AMERICAN KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE HERD BOOK. machine for converting the coarsest cattle-food into rich and nutritious milk and butter.' "In 1858, and also in 1859, I visited the native country of the Kerry cattle, chiefly for the purpose of learning their char- acteristics, and purchasing some to send to America. I found the cattle somewhat smaller than I had supposed them to be. but evidently very useful in that locality — living where no other dairy cattle that I have ever seen could live. In several in- stances they were met with at elevations of 1,500 to 2,000 feet above the sea, sharing with the goat the wild herbage of the mountainside. As illustrating their hardiness, the following incident is given : A man led me up a mountain glen to see a lot of three-year-old heifers he had grazing there. It appeared a mystery to me how the cattle could get round and over the rough rocks, and obtain a subsistence, even in summer. Having noticed that the man had several stacks of hay down in the valley, where was the rude habitation which he called his home, I asked him if he was going to take the Kerry cattle there for the winter. He replied, 'No, the hay is for the lowland cattle and the ponies.' He had just been telling of the deep snows which sometimes fall in the mountains, and I asked what the cattle would do in such cases. He said, 'The snow generally softens after a day or two, and the cattle can zvork through it.' "It is difficult to estimate the weight of these cattle, com- pared with others, from what I have seen of them. They are generally large bodied in proportion to their height, their legs being short, and the shank-bone very small. Their heads are generally handsome and the countenance lively, but with a mild expression. The best of them are decidedly attractive in their appearance. When taken to the low country and supplied with plenty of nutritious food, they become more bulky, but I had no opportunity to see what would be the effect of breeding them for several generations in a milder climate and on a better soil. "I could not generally obtain reliable statements in regard to the yield of milk or butter of these cows. In several instances where they were kept, in the low country, it was stated that they would give, per day, ten imperial quarts of milk, which would afford a pound of butter — certainly a large product, con- sidering the size of the animal. It is stated that Mr. Crosby, of Ardfert Abbey, near Tralee, obtained in his herd, ranging for seven years in succession, from 28 to 80 cows, mostly Kerries, an average of 1,952 quarts of milk in a year, which yielded a pound of butter to eight quarts — or 244 lbs. per cow annually, and that one pure Kerry cow in the herd gave 2,725 quarts of milk in ten months. INTRODUCTION OF THE KERRY TO AMERICA. I3 *'I purchased for Arthur W. Austin, Esq.. five two-year- old Kerry heifers and a bull of the same breed, which arrived here after a very long and boisterous passage, in November last. The bull, however, was so much exhausted, that he died a few days after his arrival. The others are at Mr. Austin's farm in West Roxbury, and are doing well. Another Kerry bull has been ordered for Mr. Austin, which it is hoped will reach here in June next, so that through Mr. Austin's exertions it is believed the breed will be fairly introduced, and subjected to such thorough trials as will settle the question in regard to their usefulness here." In i860, the committee on cattle of the Norfolk County Agricultural Society reported as follows : "The most prominent among the cattle brought to our notice, were those of the Kerry breed — one bull and seven heifers — imported by Arthur W. Austin, of West Roxbury, from the county of Kerry. Ireland. They are probably the first genuine specimens of the breed ever exhibited in this country, and many persons regarded them with curious eyes. In consequence of the loss of the bull first imported by Mr. Austin, he obtained another. 'Mountaineer,' which, with tw^o heifers, arrived in July last. The five heifers of the previous importation are believed to be now in calf by this bull, and are expected to come to milk in x\pril next. They have gained remarkably since their arrival, averaging an increase in girth of nearly an inch a month for the first year. Their indications for dairy purposes are all that could be expected from the high reputation of the breed. The bull is beautifully shaped — the forehead broad, the eyes large and full, the muzzle open, the upper and lower lines of the bcKly almost straight — while his thick, furry coat and elastic hide, indicate at once an ability to endure a severe climate and to thrive rapidly." In 1862, Mr. Austin submitted a statement regarding his Kerries, under the date of January 14, this being to the local agricultural society. This report was as follows : 'T often had the milk measured during the past summer, and found it did not go below 60 quarts a day for five heifers of the first importation. On the 31st of May, the five alluded to, having in that month produced their first calves, gave 60^ quarts, or an average of 12 quarts each. On the 14th of June the same five gave 6234 quarts." Three of them gave a fraction over 14 quarts each. I weighed the morning's milk, and the 31 § quarts, wine measure, weighed 6y}i lbs. Of the two last im- ported heifers, one is fully equal to either of those of the first importation, in proportion to age. she being a year younger, 14 AMERICAN KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE HERD BOOK. and having given with her first calf over lo qts. per day during the summer. I do not think the other one comes up to the standard, but she holds out well and giyes rich milk. The milk of all of them is of the first quality as to richness. Butter is ob- tained from the cream in a very short time. Late in October it required less than five minutes churning, by the clock, to bring the butter. A lady who sends for six quarts once a week and who has had much experience, pronounces the production of cream marvelo.us. She says she skims it several times over. I have had excellent milkers of different breeds, and have always been particular as to quality more than quantity; but I obtain from these Kerry heifers as large a quantity of milk as could reasonably be expected, considering their size and age ; and the quality certainly surpasses, on the average, any milk it has been my fortune to see. I have now, besides the im- ported stock, three pure bred bulls, which will be a year old in the spring and summer of 1862, three pure-blood heifers and one steer of the same age, one half-blood Kerry and Shet- land steer, and three half-blood Kerry heifers. All have im- proved wonderfully under my winter regimen. We think all the imported heifers are in calf to Mountaineer, who is in fine condition." Mr. San ford Howard contributed an article on "The Kerry Breed of Cattle," to the Report of the United States Commis- sioner of Agriculture for the year 1862. This article contains some descriptive matter regarding the breed and conditions un- der which it is kept in Ireland, rather similar to that above credited to him in the Massachusetts report. He calls attention in this article to two subjects not mentioned by him elsewhere that are of interest. He comments on the increase in size of the cattle kept in America. Their growth for the first year was very rapid. When he bought the first five two-year-old heifers, their girth was only four feet, five inches to four feet, six inches. He says, 'T measured two of them a few days since, and found their girth five feet and five feet, six inches, although, from having been pretty well milked down during the season, they are in only middling condition." "The purchase of these cattle in Ireland to come to Amer- ica," says Mr. Howard, "attracted considerable attention. The fact was noted in several newspapers, and while the cattle were in Liverpool, many persons called to see them. Singular as it may seem, but few people in England had ever seen a speci- men of the breed. How much this purchase has had to do in bringing the Kerries into general notice, I cannot say ; but it is certain that attention has, within a year or two, been more INTRODUCTION OF THE KERRY TO AMERICA. I5 turned to them than ever before. EngHsh papers state that Baron Rothschild has sent a large number to his Australian possessions, the first lot of 50 heifers having been shipped a little more than a year ago. They are also attracting much more attention in England, as is shown by the special prizes offered for them by the Royal Agricultural Society, and the favorable comment made on those exhibited at its shows."

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE HISTORY, CHAR- ACTERISTICS, DISTRIBUTION, ETC., OF KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE. [Reproduced from the revised edition of ""Types and Breeds of Farm Animals." bv Charles S. Plumb. Published bv Ginn & Company, Boston. Mass.] THE KERRY. The native home of Kerry cattle is in southwestern Ire- land in the county of Kerry. This is one of the wildest and most picturesque sections of Ireland, with mountains rising above three thousand feet and with the famous Killarney lakes in the setting. The climate is moist and fairly temperate. Agricul- tural conditions are inferior. The origin of the Kerry is as uncertain as that of other British breeds. From time immemorial it has been bred in Ireland, where it is known as the *'poor man's cow." The opinion of British students is that this is a descendant from the smaller type of aboriginal cattle of that country, of the same character' as the dark-colored cattle of Britain. Nothing more is known. The development of the breed has mainly rested with the Irish farmers or tenants, who keep but small herds. The introduction of the Kerry to America was probably first made in 1859 ^Y Sanford Howard of Boston, Massachusetts, who imported for Arthur W. Austin a bull and five two-year-old heifers. In i860 he imported a second bull, the first having died, and two heifers. Since that period Kerry cattle have been im- ported to the United States in a small way up to about 191 5. Characteristics of Kerry cattle. This is a distinct dairy type breed, with the following special characteristics: The color should always be a solid black, with no white on the body in case of the bull ; with the cow a slight amount of white on the udder or underline, while undesirable, does not disqualify. The lean head of the cow carries upstanding, slender white horns with black tips, which often turn back ; the bull's horns are shorter than those of the cow, but are commonly erect, with the tips turned back. The neck is slender and long, the imthers fine, the back strong and well carried, the depth of body only moderate, the runif^ tending to be somewhat sloping, the thighs muscular, and the legs slender and comparatively long. The (19) 20 AMERICAN KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE HERD BO'iK. udder is frequently large for the size of the cow, but tends to have a poor front development. In size the Kerry is one of the small breeds, and when in breeding condition the bull should not weigh over one thousand pounds nor the cow over nine hundred pounds. The temperament oi the Kerry is distinctly nervous, yet, when well cared for, these cattle are quiet and easily handled. The matuiring characteristics of Kerry cattle are second- ary. As bred in Ireland, due to inferior care, they are slow to develop, producing the first calf later than other breeds. This slowness of maturity is overcome to a considerable degree under proper conditions of care and feeding, and in America earlier maturity may be expected than in Ireland. The hardy character of Kerry cattle is one of its dis- tinctive features. During the entire year it is necessary for the Irish cotter's cow to adapt herself to conditions of privation, including the inclemency of winter. No breed has a more robust constitution or is less subject to common diseases than is the Kerry. The prepotency of Kerry cattle is very marked. Being of an ancient breed, long bred pure, it transmits its color and physical characteristics in a marked degree. The Kerry in crossbreeding is essentially of value in im- proving common dairy stock. Kerry bulls from high producing dams, bred to ordinary cows, should result in heifers showing a uniformly black color and capable of producing a good yield of superior milk at minimum cost. The grazing value of the Kerry is very high. This breed has been developed under adverse food conditions and thrives on comparatively poor rations. It w^ell serves the purpose of furnishing the poor Irish laborer a maximum of return for a minimum of expenditure. The Kerry as a milk producer ranks well, considering her size and cost of production. Messrs. William and James McDon- ald, reporting on the Kerry cattle shown at the Paris Exposition in 1878, state that twelve quarts of milk daily during the season and from six to seven pounds of butter a week are the estimated yield of a Kerry cow, and that cows have been known to give sixteen quarts every day for some time after calving. Only in recent years have any systematic efforts been made to keep milk or butter-fat records of these cows. In 1905 Professor James Long wrote as follows, relative to official trials :^ 1 Agricultural Gazette. London. August 21, IPOo. INFuRMATI'>X CON'CERMNG KERRY AND DKXTER CATTLE. 21 If we take the milking trials at the National Dairy Show at Islington, and travel over a number of years, we find that in one year eight Kerries averaged •)<) pounds, or more than 3>^ gallons of milk per day, this milk containing o.oo per cent fat. In another year twelve Kerries averaged 25^ pounds of milk per day. this milk containing the large proportion of 4.33 per cent of fat. while the solids not fat reached 9.2 per cent. Again, in a third year, seven Kerries averaged 33^ pounds of milk, containing 3.(>9 per cent fat. In two other years the averages of ten cows in each year were 27,!.'4 pounds of milk and 33 pounds of milk, the fat percentage in one case 4.3{i and in the oiher 4.2(>. In official tests in 1916 and 191 7 in Ireland, under the super- vision of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruc- tion for Ireland, records ranged from 4812 pounds of milk as a minimum to 8124 pounds as a maximum yield, forty-five weeks being the extreme period of lactation. The butter-fat percentage ranged from 3.4 to 4.9, the average being 4 per cent. From what the author has seen of these cattle in Ireland he believes the Kerry to be a milk-producing breed of much promise under a judicious system of breeding and selection. The distribution of the Kerry is not general ; even in Ire- land, where it is best known, the Shorthorn is the leading breed. There are a number of excellent Kerry herds in England, but very few of these cattle have been imported to America. There are small herds in Australia and South Africa. In the United States the principal herds are in New York, Missouri, and Minnesota. Organizations for the promotion of Kerry cattle have been in existence for some years. In 1887 a register was started in Ireland by the owners of the Fanners' Gazette of Dublin, which was taken over by the Royal Dublin Society after the publication of three volumes of herdbooks. In 1890 this society issued the first volume of the "Kerry and Dexter Herdbook," and has continued doing so up to date. Seventeen volumes of the Irish herdbook have been published, containing the total entry up to 19 18 of 871 Kerry bulls and 2658 cows. An English Kerry and Dexter Cattle Society, with headquarters in London, was established in 1892 and has published eighteen herdbooks, containing a total entry to 191 7 inclusive of 392 Kerry bulls and 2098 cows. In 1917 an Irish Kerry and Dexter Cattle Society was organized in Ireland to promote the welfare of the breed. In 191 1 an American Kerry and Dexter Cattle Club was organized, but thus far has published no herdbook. Up to 1920 but 16 bulls and 61 cows have been recorded, and to this date no important herd of Kerry cattle has been established in the United States. 22 AMERICAN KERRY AND DEXTER CATTLE HERD BOOK. The Dexter breed of cattle is an offshoot from the Kerry and, while classed with the Kerry in the first edition of this book, is properly a separate and distinct breed. The offspring from a Kerry and Dexter cross is regarded by each Kerry and Dexter herdbook association as a true crossbred and ineligible for registration. THE DEXTER. The native home of the Dexter is in the southern part of Ireland and in the same region as that of the Kerry. The origini of the Dexter is quite obscure. The common assumption has been that this breed is a cross between the Kerry and some other breed, perhaps the Devon. The opinion ex- pressed by Professor James Wilson is that this is a short-legged ofifshoot from the Kerry, due to crossing with the Devon. It has also been repeatedly claimed that a '*Mr. Dexter.'' who at one time was agent of Lord Hawarden, is responsible for this Irish breed, which for some time was known as the Dexter- Kerry, but which now is classed by organizations promoting these cattle in Great Britain and America as a distinct and separate breed from the Kerry. The introduction of the Dexter to America probably oc- curred long ago, when no discrimination was made between Kerry and Dexter in importations. Perhaps two liundred Dex- ters were imported to the United States between 1910 and 191 5, a large percentage of which were brought over by Elmendorf Farm of Kentucky, Howard Gould of New York, and James J, Hill of Minnesota, none of whom are now maintaining herds of these cattle. The characteristics of the Dexter. In Great Britain the Dexter is regarded as a diminutive dual-purpose breed, although in the United States the beef side is given scant consideration. The essential characteristics are found in the head, short legs, small size, and color. The head is old-fashioned in a degree, tending towards plainness and crowned with more or less black- tipped, upright horns. The head of the bull is burlv and short and the horns often extend* directly out to each si'ie and then make a wide curve forward and upward, with considerable spare between the tii^s. The neck is moderately short and mus- cular, the zvithcrs show a dual-purpose thickness, the hack is- unusuallv strongly supported, the depth of body and digestive caoacitv is comparativelv great, the /a/7 head is often prominent, the hind quarters suggest the dual-purpose type (more especially with the bull), the legs are very short, and the udder on mature cows frequently indicates great capacity for animals of such small size.

The following description is taken from Volume XX for 1919, of the English Kerry and Dexter Herd Book. The scale of points following the description is from the same source. The cow should be long, level and deep, her color black, her head long and fine ; her horns fine at base, mottled or white tipped with black, upright and cocked ; her eye soft and promi- nent ; her bone fine ; her coat in summer like satin, in winter long and thick ; her udder should be soft and large, but not fleshy, protruding well under the belly, the teats being placed square and well apart, the milk veins prominent and large ; the tail should be well put on, and have at the end long, fine, black hair. The Kerry cow should not weigh over 900 pounds live weight, when in breeding condition. Note: A small amount of white on the udder and underline not to disqualify. The bull should be whole black without a white hair ; should have a long head, wide between the eyes, of masculine character, throat clean, horns medium length, mottled or white with black tips, turning backwards ; withers fine ; back straight from withers to setting on of tail, which should be long, fine, tipped with black hairs. The Kerry bull should not weigh over 1000 pounds live weight when in breeding condition. Scale of Points of Kerry Cow.
