COLLING, ROBERT (1749-1820) , and CHARLES (1751-1836), English stock breeders, famous for their improvement of the Shorthorn breed of cattle, were the sons of Charles Colling, a farmer of Ketton near Darlington. Their lives are closely connected with the history of the Shorthorn breed. Of the two
brothers
 , Charles is probably the better known, and it was his visit to the farm of Robert
Bakewell
  at Dishley that first led the
brothers
  to realize the possibilities of scientific cattle breeding. Charles succeeded to his father's farm at Ketton. Robert, after being first apprenticed to a
grocer
  in Shields, took a farm at Barmpton. An animal which he bought at Charles's advice for 8 and afterwards sold to his brother, became known as the celebrated " Hubback," a
bull
  which formed the basis of both the Ketton and Barmpton herds. The two brothers pursued the same
system
  of " in and in " breeding which they had learned from
Bakewell
 , and both the Ketton and the Barmpton herds were sold by
auction
  in the autumn of ,810. The former with 47 lots brought 7116, and the latter with 6, lots 7852. Robert Coiling died unmarried at Barmpton on the 7th of
March
  182o, leaving his property to his brother. Charles Colling, who is remembered as the owner of the famous bulls " Hubback," "Favourite" and "Comet," was more of a specialist and a business man than his brother. He died on the 16th of January 1836.
See the
Journal
  of the Royal Agricultural Society, 1899, for a biographical sketch of the brothers Colling, by C. J. Bates.
