that has bred eight calves in six years, including Hovingham. Lady 

 Fitz- Windsor, of the Familiar tribe, had come from the first 

 Prinknash sale, and Prinkney Roan, by Lord Prinknash 2nd 3805:3, 

 is the oldest of her three daughters. A fashionably bred young bull 

 came from Broughton last spring in the shape of Fitz Paul 49592, 

 a son of the Warlaby Royal Craftsman 45516, and Pauline 21st ; one 

 of the most promising young cows is Roan Ada, a daughter of
