Medora family, and were sons of Star of Halnaby 44092. Five years 

 ago, close on sixty head were offered by auction, and excepting 

 Viscount Lismore, all were Ruths, the result being an average of 

 within a shilling of <34. 



The herd at present consists of about thirty females, and the 

 stock bull, Larry 4(s599, came from Mr. Braikenridge's after three 

 season's service at The Rookery, he is a red with little white, by 

 Foreign Fitz-Roy 41570, from Louisa Eose, of the Ma?on Portia 

 tribe, and is very lengthy with a good rib, capital giith, kindly 

 masculine head, besides having a nice mellow touch. Most of the 

 older cows and heifers are on the Trewithen farm, which adjoins 

 Tregoose, where Mr. Trethewy resides. Ruth 184th, a light roan 

 daughter of Viscount Lismore 42557, wonderfully well sprung in her 

 rib, is the first to be noticed, but the Ninetieth, a deep framed red and 

 white is the oldest of the family. Nos. 193, 195, and 197, do credit 

 to the Star of Britain, especially the last named, which is considered 

 a very taking young cow. Two red and whites, by the other Artfert 

 bull have hitherto shown a disposition to grow upwards, but as they 

 more fully mature, they will probably improve. On entering the 

 Park in front of Mr. Hawkins' mansion, Mr. Trethewy it may be 

 added has the management of the estate a red and white, with an 

 especially nice udder attracts our attention, and is found to be No. 

 160, while No. 173, near at hand, is possessed of great substance, 

 and has been a most regular breeder. Another Star of Britain young 

 cow is very substantially put together, and so is No. 207, but the 

 latter is slightly deficient behind the shoulders ; in this respect the 

 Ruths are generally good, and by the use of Larrv, they will probably 

 continue so. The next in number (208), is very straight and level, 

 and is the only instance we have pointed out of a Ruth male mated 

 with a female. A nice old white No. 155 by M. C., out of No. 

 110, must not be omitted notice. No. 205, a deep fleshy heifer, 

 has just returned from Mr. Williams' Wild Duke of Geneva 24th. 

 No. 172, is the best animal at Trewithen, and a really beautiful cow, 

 quite fit for exhibition purposes, with her grand level top, round
