Asks how many wild Chillingham cattle are killed each year. Interested in rate of increase.
Sends data on numbers of "wild" cattle in the herd on the estate of Lord Tankerville that have been killed by fighting, accidents, etc. He does not perceive that the cattle have diminished in size.
Thanks for information about natural increase of Chillingham cattle. Compares with case in Paraguay.
