Image with unknown copyright status removed Image Alderney.jpg thumb right The Alderney was a breed of dairy cattle originating from the British Channel Island of Alderney , though no longer found on the island. The pure breed is now extinct, though hybrids still exist. Description Pure breed Alderneys were smaller, more slender boned animals than the cattle of the other Channel Islands and in some ways they were more deer like than bovine. They were docile animals and would even follow children passively to or from pastures. Their milk was copious and produced very rich butter. Extinction Most of the pure breed Alderney cattle were removed from the island to Guernsey in the summer of 1940, because the island was then occupied by the Germans during World War 2 and it was difficult for the few remaining islanders to milk them. On Guernsey, the cattle were interbred with local breeds. The few pure breed cattle remaining on Alderney were killed and eaten by the Germans in 1944. In literature The Alderney is mentioned in a verse of A. A. Milne s poem The King s Breakfast The Dairymaid She curtsied, And went and told The Alderney Don t forget the butter for The Royal slice of bread. The Alderney Said sleepily you d better tell His Majesty That many people nowadays Like marmalade Instead.
