brindled

Black, brown, or brindled, are colors not recognised among pure-bred Short Horns.

Or, "The large black cow yields daily six pints of milk more than the brindled cow."

Fagerlin was the big brindled cow, and at present, being summertime, was allowed to take the air in the garden.

One says, with great solemnity, on a momentous occasion, "Thrice the brindled cat hath mew'd."
