 9,613 Ib. (350), 7,622V 2 Ib. (322), 9,245 Ib. (310). 



The third set of 427 Primrose records is through 371 Nelly, which 

 entered Mr. W. Bradfield's herd. He used in succession The Palmer 

 138, its son Rufus 188, and an Eaton bull. Then a B4 bull, whose 

 blood was almost wholly Suffolk, w r as used by a new owner of the 

 stock, and the result, 6962 Bower Blush Al. She was bought as the 

 beginner of Mr. C. F. Newton's small, now also noteworthy, herd, 

 at Saham Toney. 



6962's earliest annual yields were 7,694 Ib. (358), 8233% Ib. (327); 

 her total 44,270% Ib. (2,083). Of Bower Blush's progeny: 11539 

 Meadow Sweet's record was 52,985% Ib. (2,697); 12619 Meadow Blush 

 2d a year younger than 11539, and got by Jupiter 4475 N6 began 

 her record with 5,518 Ib. (228), and in succeeding years it ranged 

 from 6,950 Ib. to 9,510V 2 Ib.; total yield from 17th May, 1890, to 6th 

 January, 1911, when she was sold, 91,508 3 /4 Ib. (4,156), fat 4.0 to 4.6. 

 6952's 17009 Little Blush's 4th c.-8,154 Ib., fat 3.9 (339); total 27,-

 by Lord Kitchener 7316 2 Norf. She began with 7799% Ib., fat 

 4.4 (350); the 12 records to 30th September 1915, are: 8,002% Ib., 

 fat 5.1 (365); 9,881 Ib. (322), 9,336 Ib. (330), 9,018 Ib. (329), 9,509

 6,521% Ib., fat 4.6 (341); 21,729 Meadow Blusl 5th-lst c.-8,060 Ib., 

 fat 4.7 (325). 



The Families A3, 4, and 5 were founded on cows bought in 1854 

 from Mr. John Palmer's old herd at Brettenham, and akin to K18 

 and 19. It is probable that the inheritance was a combination of 

 Norfolk, West Suffolk, and the Reeve "Red Polled." The A3 records 

 were made at Aspall Hall by Mr. J. B. Chevallier: 12986 Snowball's 

 8,223 Ib., 8,199 Ib.; total 17,845 V 2 Ib. 12986's 18771 New Snowball
