SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 443 



roan heifer calf by Rowfant Duke of Leicester 5*201'*, while Augusta 

 7th, and Garnett 31st, were secured out of Mr. Wakefield's dozen 

 lots offered to the public on the same occasion. 



Proceeding six miles northwards from Bui-ton, and the Royal 

 prize farm ot Greenhead is duly reached. The tenant, Mr. William 

 Handley, first took possession of the farm in 1867. when he purchased 

 a number of good dairy cows by Mr. Ellison's Tenant Farmer 

 13828, who had been used by his predecessor, Mr. Scott, and two 

 years later, Sir AY alter Trevelyan 25170, a very fine white bull, was 

 bought from the late Mr. R. W. Ashburner, of Low Hall, and 

 followed by Mr. Cattley's Prince Arthur 20597 who won many 

 prizes and proved himself a capital stock getter but it was the 

 introduction of the Sheriff Hut ton blood that proved so successful 

 at Greenhead, after using Sir Arthur Windsor 35541, the famous 

 old Sir Arthur Ingram 32490, was bought at the dispersion of Mr. 

 Linton's herd, and the breeding of the thrice Royal winner, Royal 

 Ingrain 50374, shows most of these sires in his pedigree, he having 

 been descended like the large majority of Mr. Handley J s stock, from 

 the cows purchased in 1807. The success of the herd in the show- 

 yards has plaited it of late years very prominently before the public 

 and every praise is due to Mr. Handley and his son into whose 

 hands the heid will pass at the close of 1887 for the manner in 

 which they have sent their animals into the ring. Alfred the Great 

 36121, from that fine cow, Edith 9th, after being exhibited on ten 

 occasions as a yearling, when he was always awarded premier honours 

 in his class, succeeded his sire Sir Arthur Windsor in the herd, 

 and his son. Master Harbinger 40324, was the first Royal winner 

 bred at Gteenhead. 



At the date of our visit, Royal Ingram 50374, with his mag- 

 nificent back and loin ; Hiawatha 48127, a massive heavy fleshed 

 Scotch b.ed bull, not so firm in his loin as desirable; and Golden 

 Tieasuie 51346, a paiticulaily possessing young bull of excellent 

 quality and full of hair, are of the principal stud sires, with Royal 

 Hovingham, Ingrain's Glory and Ingram's Fame coming on for 

 future use as well as to aid in winning further honours for the herd.
