HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Knight for yearling heifer. These are the only 

 two prizes mentioned, but there must have been 

 more given. Leominster meeting June. Best 

 yearling heifer, Mr. Williams, Thinghill; best 

 three-year-old heifer, T. Glee, Downton. Oc- 

 tober meeting. Best two-year-old heifer, Mr. 

 Stevens, Cotmore. 



1806. March meeting. Aged bull, Mr. Jef- 

 fries, The Sheriffs; three-year-old bull, Mr. 

 Watkins, Brinsop; yearling bull, Mr. Weaver, 

 Stretton. The above premiums were awarded 

 by a committee of the following gentlemen: 

 Mr. Apperley, Mr. Cheese, Mr. Edwards, Mr. 

 Jeffries, E. Jones, Mr. Redward, Mr. Knight, 

 Mr. Tench, Mr. Watkins and Mr. Williams. This 

 is the first notice of how the prizes were decided. 

 Leominster meeting, June 20. Best yearling 

 heifer, Mr. Watkins, Brinsop; three-year-old 

 heifer, Mr. Deykin, Brierley; two-year-old 

 heifer, Mr. Woolaston, Lynch; three-year-old 

 bull, Mr. Salway, Ashley Moor; aged bull, Mr. 

 Proctor, Orleton; yearling bull, Mr. Downes, 

 Ashford. (fl 74 B) Hereford meeting, June 30. 

 Best working ox, T. A. Knight; best yearling 

 heifer, Mr. Tully, Huntington. Only two stock 

 prizes given. October meeting. We failed to find 

 an advertisement of the awards of this show, but 

 in the general news of the paper of October 29 



we find the following: "Mr. Tomkins, Well- 

 ington, gained the premium for best two-year- 

 old heifer. The stock shown was very fine and 

 never surpassed on any former occasion." This 

 is the only notice we find of Mr. B. Tomkins, 

 Jr., showing. We suppose he was offended at 

 something that took place, and never competed 

 again. 



1807. Spring meeting. Best aged bull, W. 

 Galliers, King's Pyon ; best three-year-old bull, 

 Mr. Hewer, Abergavenny; best two-year-old 

 bull, Mr. Weaver, Stretton; best yearling bull, 

 Mr. Yeomans, Howton. Leominster meeting. 

 Best yearling heifer, Mr. Kedward, Westhide; 

 best three-year-old heifer, Mr. Williams, Brin- 

 sop; best yearling bull, Mr. Green, Stoke. 

 Hereford, June 30. Best yearling heifer, Mr. 

 Hughes of Marcle ; best working ox, Mr. Dawes 

 of Mensell. October meeting. Best three-year- 

 old heifer, T. A. Knight; best two-year-old 

 heifer, T. A. Knight. A notice is inserted to 

 the effect that Mr. Knight declines accepting 

 the premiums since he has gained so many, so 

 William Galliers, King's Pyon, being next best, 

 takes two. 



1812. Candlemas. Best yearling bull, B. 

 Wain wright, Hereford; best two-year-old bull, 

 Mrs. Berrow, The Green, Dewchurch; best 



CHAMPION HEREFORD OX, SMITHFIELD, 1841. (Bred by Mr. Mason, of Tarrington; fed by Mr. Senior.)
