A large proportion of the B Group had their origin at Playford, 

 where was Mr. Arthur BiddelPs herd. Mr. Herman Biddell asserted 

 that records of breeding and tests were made in his herd and that 

 of his brother, Mr. Manfred Biddell, but none were available. A 

 study of the form of the cows evidenced that sires from Sir Edward 

 Kerrison's herd at Oakley had been used on the High Suffolk type, 

 and thus there had been an infusion of the Reeve "Red Polled" blood. 

 It was also probable that the old Norfolk strain had been drawn from 

 Mr. Moseley's herd, brought to Glenham Hall in 1823 from West 

 Tofts. The Herd Book Register in 1874 had a record of a strong 

 mixture of Norfolk blood, from 1869, through Seneca 195, from M-r. 

 Henry Birkbeck's herd at Stoke Holy Cross. This was followed from 

 1874 by the use of Iron Duke 125, which had Powell blood for two 

 generations following on two of the old Elmham strain. In 1882 Mr. 

 A. J. Smith set up a Red Polled herd at Rendlesham, selecting 21 

 cows of the B Group, and a while after adding others. By the policy 

 of making the best of his early selection, with systematic milk rec- 

 ords from September, 1889, he won a reputation for the herd. The 

 quoted records of the Group are few of the many published. The 

 Rendlesham and Eyke mine of wealth was well worked while Mr. 

 Smith lived, and only ended at the sale of the herd in September, 1913.
