Synopsis
Excerpt from Index to Executive Documents, Printed by Order of the Senate of the United States, First Session, Thirty-Third Congress, 1853-'54: In Thirteen Volumes
In 17 50, the best dairy farms in Rhode Island contained upwards of one hundred cows, annually producing 100 loads of hay, and sold pounds of cheese, besides butter, bullocks, and calves. On one farm seventy-three cows made pounds of butter in five months. Two acres of good land sustained one cow.
In 1750, the French of Illinois were in possession of considerable numbers of cattle, horses, and swine.
In 1783, Messrs. Goff, Ringold and Patton, of Baltimore, sent an. Order to England for superior cattle, for the purpose of improving the breed in the United States; and in 1785, Mr. Patten, junior, carried ar bull from that importation to Clarke county, Kentucky. Mr. Patton, senior, some time afterwards followed his son, taking with him another portion of the same lot of stock. This old bull, then eighteen years old, was sold at public auction for $133 33. Mr. Harrison, a brother in-law of Mr. Patton, also carried a short-horned bull to the same county, in 1804. This is said to have been a very fine animal, and, greatly improved the stock of that region. Messrs. Hutchcroft and Welton also carried another descendant of the short-horned stock tor Kentucky from the same importation.
About the year 1797, a Mr. Heaton, of Dutchess county, New York, imported from England a short-horned bull, which was afterwards hired: by General Morgan Lewis and others for public use in that county.
