Another early reference to color...

Thomas Shaw (1843-1918), in "The study of breeds in America: cattle, sheep and swine" gave the following description of color which seems to contradict Lydekker's "without a light dorsal streak" and makes no mention of either red or roan:

"The color most in favor is a rich black with, in some instances, a ridge of white along the back and a white streak under the belly, but some are black, brown, black and white and brown and white."

Silver Dexter newborn that will become dun colored.
