DEF

In Dexter cattle commonly, and in other breeds occasionally, a hereditary condition, which is scientifically known as achondroplasia, occurs. Calves are born in a deformed condition in which the short limbs, dropsical swollen abdominal and thoracic cavities, and a marked foreshortening of the upper and lower jaws give the calf an appearance resembling a bull-dog.
