Summary "Cattle and Cattle-breeders" by William McCombie is a historical account written in the late 19th century." The work delves into various aspects of cattle breeding and trading, reflecting the author's extensive experience in the cattle industry and his lineage in this field. It covers the techniques of feeding cattle, the dynamics of the cattle trade, and provides insights into specific breeds, particularly the Aberdeen and Angus cattle. "The opening of the text introduces McCombie's reflections on his heritage in cattle dealing, starting with his father and grandfather." He recounts their extensive networks and successful dealings in cattle markets, sharing anecdotal experiences that shaped his own journey into the business. Notably, he provides detailed observations about cattle buying and selling practices, emphasizing the importance of understanding animal health, feeding methods, and market conditions. The narrative illustrates not only the practicalities of cattle trade but also the camaraderie and challenges faced within this community. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
