876 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



balanced at both ends, and strong in the middle 

 except at the point noted. Compared to the low- 

 legged Onward 4th both Prime Lad and Bright 

 Donald looked a bit off the ground, but that is on 

 account of the remarkable brevity of the under- 

 pinning of the March On 6th bull. It would per- 

 haps be asking too much for a bull of his weight, 

 bulk and sappiness to hold his back altogether level, 

 and the remarkably high carriage of head adds to 

 the impression of slackness of top. He is extremely 

 wide and rotund in his turning, magnificent in his 

 head, horn and crest, and great in buttocks and 

 twist. Bright Donald is a little different type, a 

 very straight-lined yellow-red, with strong heavy 

 well-fashioned hind-quarters, a pleasing head and 

 horn and a great weight of mellow flesh, but with a 

 roughness of shoulder that stands against him. Of 

 Fulfiller it may be said that he has not fulfilled his 

 early promise. In his youth he was easily the best 

 bull produced at Weavergrace. He is extremely low 

 and broad and wealthily fleshed, but he does not 

 carry a level topline and his hips are somewhat too 

 wide. Beau March On is a neat-boned bull, of ex- 

 cellent top and plenty of finish, but his underline 

 shows some suggestion of pinch. Actor 26th carries 

 his heavy weight close to the ground and his ribs 

 are well sprung and covered, but he lacks the 

 smoothness of outline carried by Beau Donald 39th. 

 This bull continues to present the bullet-like style 

 of architecture, with tremendous heavy hind end, 

 and his place at the bottom of the list was much 

 of a surprise. 



"We depart in this instance from the rule limit- 

 ing comment to prize-winners to note the presence 

 in the ring of the English champion bull Happy 

 Christmas. He is a bull of great bulk and attractive 

 in his fashioning forward, but evidently he has seen
