The Ancestry of Domestic Cattle

This special re-print edition of the United States Department of Agriculture's "The Ancestry of Domestic Cattle" is considered one of the most important works ever published on the history and origin of cattle. First published in 1912, this important work on cattle, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Topics covered include Historical Sketch of the Bovidae, The genus Bos and Its Five Subgenre or Groups, Extinct Species Related to Domestic Cattle, The Early History of Cattle Breeding and the Development of Breeds and much more. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
