This herd consists of full-blooded and linlf-breed animals. The latter were products of cross-breeding with cattle, but they did not prove to he a dc- sirable animal, having all the undesirable and none of thc good qualities of either ancestor. The inongrcls were separated from the lilnoiied animals, and thc latter were permitted to range in a wild state

on the reservation. They thrived and the herd grew until it num cred almost 800.
