Sam Biles on Cows

There was a special Isle of Wight cow which I think was a short horn crossed with a Guernsey and they were known as the Isle of Wight cows.

They, when they were being fattened for meat after their milking life, were very popular on the Mainland because after being on quite restricted ground on the Island, with its often not very good grass because of the salt and things like that before  proper fertilizers were involved, they would then go onto the good grass farms on the Mainland and fatten up very well.
