Longhorn cattle
The English longhorn breed of cattle was once widespread and often featured in 18th century paintings of the English country parks of the aristocrats. The breed was a milk producer, but after Robert Bakewell tried to improved the cattle as meat producers through breeding this had a negative impact on the breed as milk producers, as a result they fell from favour and consequently the breed is rarely seen today.
