The above examination of our herds of cows, some of which were
covered by a large blanket, completely excluding from view
every part of the animal except the escutcheon and back part of
udder, subjected the commission to the severest test that could
be applied; and agreeing, as their estimate of quality and
quantity does, with our previously written reports, leads us to
think that in the hands of experts it would be a valuable aid
in judging the quality of dairy stock.

The undersigned having been present at the examination of
Thomas Gawthrop’s herd of dairy cows, by the Guenon commission,
on the 2d day of 9 month, 1878, am free to say that, although
most of the cows were blanketed from horns to tail, their
estimate, in a great majority of them, very nearly corresponded
with the owners account previously prepared.
