herd-book

Perhaps pure-breds that have their names in the herd book may be above such tricks, but I doubt it.

In 1857 Mr. Duckham took over the management of the Herd-Book, and to his exertions the breed owes a deep debt of gratitude.

No peerage ever kept a more jealous heraldry than the herd-book of this great quadruped noblesse.

The advantages of a Registry, or Herd Book, for this breed of cattle, are too obvious to require argument.
