BELVIDERE 



Figure 19. Bates' greatest success began with the use of the "Princess" bull, 

 Belvidere (1706), which, although lacking in Duchess blood, was closely inbred to 

 the foundation sire. Favourite, and through the latter was as closely related to the 

 Duchess cows as an ordinary full brother. 



OLD BROKEN-LEG 



Figure 20. Daughter of Belvidere and dam of Duke of Northumberland, Old 

 Broken Leg (Duchess 34th) was one of Bates' most famous Duchesses. Her merits 

 as an individual were established by her notable victory over John Booth's cow, 

 Necklace, at the York show in 1842.
