61 lobo stripe
West: 1941. As Watts notes, a dark stripe running down the middle of the back of some animals, including Texas and Mexican longhorn cattle. See also bayo coyote. -
62 Mexican buckskin
Adams indicates that this term is used by northern cowboys for a longhorn driven north from Texas. -
63 querencia
The place where a person (or animal) was born. Also a favorite spot or 'haunt.' Watts, quoting Dobie, says that Texan cowboys use the term to refer to a longhorn's birthplace or a place the cow persistently returns to. The OED notes that in bullfighting it refers to the place in the ring where a bull takes his stand, or his "stamping ground." The DRAE indicates that it refers to the inclination or tendency of a person or animal to return to the place where s/he was raised or has become accustomed to. It may also refer to the place itself. Santamaría quotes Valle, who reports that this term refers (in Nicaragua) to the native territory of an animal, meaning the place where it was raised, where it has become accustomed to graze, and whose pathways and landmarks it knows and remembers instinctively. By extension, it is also used for the place a person calls home and where his or her loved ones reside. -
64 Texas
(Sp. model spelled same [téxas] < Caddo Indian teyshas 'allies or friends' appropriated by the Spanish in the 1540s who mistakenly took it to be a tribal name.)1) A term written in lowercase referring to the canopy of a covered wagon adjusted and reinforced to withstand wet weather.2) Name of the second largest state in the Union, admitted in 1845 (as the twenty-eighth), which is intimately associated with cowboying. As such it is combined to form compounds relating to fauna and flora native to or introduced to Texas. Animals include: Texas cow, Texas cattle or Texas herd, Texas longhorn, Texas pony, Texas armadillo, and Texas fever tick. Some typical plants include: Texas bluebonnet, Texas bluegrass, and Texas (white) oak.Alternate form: Tejas. -
65 Texan
Of or pertaining to Texas; with particular reference to the inhabitants of the state or to cattle originating from Texas, such as the longhorn breed. -
66 zorrillas
(zorrillo [soríjo], of uncertain origin; probably from Spanish zorro 'fox' and -illo, a diminutive suffix)According to Santamaría, a zorrillo is a skunk. In the Southwest the term was applied to longhorn cattle whose hides have dorsal stripes. Watts indicates they often had white spots on their flanks and bellies, which made them similar in appearance to the above-mentioned animal. -

75 Bakewell, Robert
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. 23 May 1725 Loughborough, Englandd. 1 October 1795 Loughborough, England[br]English livestock breeder who pioneered the practice of progeny testing for selecting breeding stock; he is particularly associated with the development of the Improved Leicester breed of sheep.[br]Robert Bakewell was the son of the tenant farming the 500-acre (200 hectare) Dishley Grange Farm, near Loughborough, where he was born. The family was sufficiently wealthy to allow Robert to travel, which he began to do at an early age, exploring the farming methods of the West Country, Norfolk, Ireland and Holland. On taking over the farm he continued the development of the irrigation scheme begun by his father. Arthur Young visited the farm during his tour of east England in 1771. At that time it consisted of 440 acres (178 hectares), 110 acres (45 hectares) of which were arable, and carried a stock of 60 horses, 400 sheep and 150 other assorted beasts. Of the arable land, 30 acres (12 hectares) were under root crops, mainly turnips.Bakewell was not the first to pioneer selective breeding, but he was the first successfully to apply selection to both the efficiency with which an animal utilized its food, and its physical appearance. He always had a clear idea of the animal he wanted, travelled extensively to collect a range of animals possessing the characteristics he sought, and then bred from these towards his goal. He was aware of the dangers of inbreeding, but would often use it to gain the qualities he wanted. His early experiments were with Longhorn cattle, which he developed as a meat rather than a draught animal, but his most famous achievement was the development of the Improved Leicester breed of sheep. He set out to produce an animal that would put on the most meat in the least time and with the least feeding. As his base he chose the Old Leicester, but there is still doubt as to which other breeds he may have introduced to produce the desired results. The Improved Leicester was smaller than its ancestor, with poorer wool quality but with greatly improved meat-production capacity.Bakewell let out his sires to other farms and was therefore able to study their development under differing conditions. However, he made stringent rules for those who hired these animals, requiring the exclusive use of his rams on the farms concerned and requiring particular dietary conditions to be met. To achieve this control he established the Dishley Society in 1783. Although his policies led to accusations of closed access to his stock, they enabled him to keep a close control of all offspring. He thereby pioneered the process now recognized as "progeny testing".Bakewell's fame and that of his farm spread throughout the country and overseas. He engaged in an extensive correspondence and acted as host to all of influence in British and overseas agriculture, but it would appear that he was an over-generous host, since he is known to have been in financial difficulties in about 1789. He was saved from bankruptcy by a public subscription raised to allow him to continue with his breeding experiments; this experience may well have been the reason why he was such a staunch advocate of State funding of agricultural research.[br]Further ReadingWilliam Houseman, 1894, biography, Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society. 1–31.
