218 The Norwich Show, 1911. 



prize animals wevf of totally different types, but all three good ol" 

 their type. Class 03 (heifers in-milk calved in 1908) was excep- 

 tionally good. The first prize winner in this class was afterwards 

 awarded the Female Championship, and is a very good specimen 

 of the breed. Class 94 (heifers calved in the first three months 

 of 1909) was small without anything of much distinction. 

 Class 95 included several good heifers calved in the last nine 

 months of 1909, the first prize winner being particularly sweet 

 in style and Shorthorn character. The yearling heifers in 

 Class 9(j were good and numerous, without any great outstanding 

 wanner. One or two animals in this class were excessively over- 

 fed, and this remark applies to all the female classes in a more 

 or less degree. In Class 97 there was a good lot of yearling 

 heifers, the first and second prize winners being exceptionally 

 so. In the Group class (98) for the best collection of three 

 or four cows or heifers bred by the exhibitor the seven 

 entries made a fine show, the winners being a very even 

 typical lot. 



Dairy Shorthorns. — In Class 99 (bulls) there were only four 

 entries of moderate quality, the conditions of entry restricting 

 competition. Class lOO (dairy cows calved in or before 190G) 

 was a grand one of twenty-four exhibits, showing, as a whole, 

 great merit, and generally giving yields of milk well above the 

 standard. Class 101, for four-year old cows, was good, contain- 

 ing some heavy milkers of Shorthorn character. In Class 102 

 (heifers calved in or after 1908) there was an entry of seven, 

 which fully represented the type of animal desired by the 

 Dairy Shorthorn Association, each entrant well qualif^'ing for 

 that Association's certificate. 



Lincolnshire Red Shorthorns. — The general average of these 

 classes was very good and exhibitors are i-ealizing the advantage 

 of showing their cattle in better condition than formerly. 

 Considering the nearness to the homes and stronghold of the 

 breed some of the classes might have been better filled. The 

 winner in Class 104 repeated his win of 1910, and is keeping 

 his evenness and good form well. He was also awarded the 

 Champion prize for the best bull. This was a class of very 

 good bulls. Class 105 was the weakest of the male section, 

 though the winner improved his position from 1910. The 

 second prize bull gives promise of improving with age. Class 

 106 was very good, and there was little to choose between 

 the first three bulls. The winner had more size and Lincoln 

 Red character, and was a splendid colour. The second and 

 third were good bulls with lean flesh. The winner in Class 107 

 was a wonderfully level cow for her age (10 years). It was 

 a strong class and included several extra good cows. Class 109 

 contained some typical heifers. Taken as a whole Class 110
