Extract

Indian cattle have, with few exceptions, jet black skins. The hair is frequently white, grey, brown, or black, but only in rare cases are the skins white. The animals having white skins are weakly, if not unhealthy, are liable to blister with the sun, and contract after a time a form of leprosy.
