[QUOTE="Theodore W., post: 268036, member: 4644"] Oh, that's quite well possible. W.W. Chenery himself told here that he once shipped 8 sheep at Rotterdam for Boston, and that in Boston he had 17 sheep arriving: [url=http://www.handweaving.net/DAItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=3924#]http://www.handweaving.net/DAItemDetail ... emID=3924#[/url] (I guess the ancestry of this breed he gives is rather made up, however.) Cattle are no sheep, but the Dutch cattle seems to have been rather "fit for sea transport", so birth at sea is quite well possible. That's one part that can explain the differences, however in Germany there were three core areas where more or less the same breed was bred(lots of Holland and Friesian blood imported there), so some cattle can have been imported from there as well,and there were quite some animals exported who had already founded secondary breeding populations... So there are quite some places of birth possible for the difference. [/QUOTE]
