The E Group has some of its pedigrees from the year 1852, just 

 forty years after G. B. George saw John Reeve's "new breed at Hoik- 

 ham, calculated its possible value, and became one of its realisers. 

 He seems to have been the means, through Sir Edward Kerrison and 

 other practical men, of improving the Norfolk and Suffolk Polled 

 cattle to such a degree that just fifty-two years after a bull and two 

 heifers were first exhibited they were a recognized breed. Mr. G. 

 George, his elder son, had kept a register more than twenty years, 

 but said little to enlighten the collector of pedigrees, when his brother, 

 Mr. T. W. George, of Cringleford (lands near to Eaton), on retiring 

 from farming in 1873, sold his Red Polled herd. The Herd Book, how- 

 ever, was supplied with the desired facts. G. George's 6-yr.-old cow, 

 412 Polly Ell, sold when he retired in 1876, has been the means of 

 adding to the repute of the Red Poll in the United States.
