Excerpt from The History of the Rise and Progress of the Killerby, Studley and Warlaby Herds of ShorthornsContemporaries of Robert Bakewell in the later period of his career, and imitators of his principles and success, were the two brothers, Charles Colling of Ketton and Robert Coiling of Barmpton, both inthe county of Durham, and both within a few miles of Darlington, which may be said to be the metropolis of the Improved Shorthorns, or, as they have been sometimes called, the Durhams. Of these Improved Shorthorns the brothers Colling were, about the year 1780, the most prominent cultivators. From their blood all improved shorthorns of the present day more or less derive, and many and eminent are the names of those who, imitating their success, and availing themselves of their cattle, have contributed to spread the fame of the Shorthorn through this and other lands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
