66 ON STEERS AND FAT CATTLE. 



ON STEERS. 



The Committee on Steers respectfully Report, that of the 

 original Committee only one member was present, Albert 

 Smith, of West Newbury, and the vacancies were supplied by 

 the other names hereto subscribed. 



There were but three pairs of steers presented for premi- 

 ums ; one pair, three years old, by Moses Pettingill, of Tops- 

 field, which we do not think very extra for size or quality ; 

 one pair of two year old steers, by David S. Caldwell, of By- 

 field, which were extra for size and quality, and we consider 

 him entitled to the first premium of six dollars. One pair of 

 yearling steers, presented by Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, 

 were very fair animals of that age. 



The Committee very much regret that the exhibition of this 

 description of stock was so meagre, but hope that in future 

 more interest will be taken to make it worthy of the Society 

 and the county.

ON FAT CATTLE. 



The Committee on Fat Cattle Report, that only two pairs 

 of cattle were entered for beef, viz : one pair by Jedediah H. 

 Barker, of Andover, and one by George Norton, of Essex ; 

 neither of which, in the opinion of the Committee, were of 

 that class of stock entitled to the Society's first premium. 

 They were good cattle, however, considering the manner and 

 expense of fattening. We would, therefore, recommend the 

 second premium, of eight dollars, be awarded to George Norton, 

 for his best ox, and the third premium, of five dollars, to Jede- 

 diah H. Barker, for his best ox.
