Pembroke Cattle - Characteristics

Characteristics

Pembroke cattle were described as being coal black. William Youatt said some had white faces and white about the udder, but this was ascribed to cross-breeding by Read. The horns which at first incline outwards and forwards, and then bend somewhat upwards and inwards, are light coloured with black tips. They were reported to be good milk producers, with many being sold to London town dairies. Store cattle of the breed were favoured for grazing in Sussex and Kent, especially on the Pevensey Levels, and many also went to the English Midlands.
