Scottish Shorthorn breeders have I formed a new association for the furtherance of the interests of the breed in Scotland, and especially for pushing the interests of what is generally known as the "Scotch" type. It is in no way antagonistic to the Shorthorn Society, but has been started with its blessing. The new association combines the functions of previous sectional bodies in the north, and is in effect a marketing scheme, although outside the Agricultural Marketing. Act.
