ART. 2.--_Nose_, of a light delicate orange color. 5
ART. 3.--_Eye_, should be bright, prominent and clear; but gentle
in expression, as indicative of that spirited docility so
necessary to cattle that must bear the yoke; a beautiful orange
colored ring should invariably surround the eye. 4
ART. 4.--_Ear_, thin, rather below medium size; of a rich orange
color within, with a quick ready movement expressive of
attention. 2
ART. 5.--_Horns_, light, tapering and round; gaily as well as
symmetrically placed on the head, with an upward form. 2
ART. 6.--_Neck_, set on fine at the head, gently rising from the
shoulder; full and muscular, an indication of strength and
constitution; the gullet clean and free from dewlap, full at its
junction with the shoulder. 5
ART. 7.--_Chest_, deep and round, carrying its fullness well back
of the elbows, thus affording abundant room for the full and free
action of the heart and lungs, without extreme width forward, or
protuberance of the shoulder points. 12
ART. 8.--_Brisket_, full and oval, setting the arms wide apart at
their junction with the body, indicative of a good feeding
quality. 4
ART. 9.--_Shoulder_, should take a somewhat sloping position,
with its points less projecting, the blade blending with and
forming a fine wither rising to a line with the back. 4

shoulder and level back. 3

bones prominent but not pointed. 6

and well covered. 5

the thighs. 3

and the rumps, showing a well turned finish; with a good muscular
