ON FAT CAITLE. G7 



There were also entered for exhibition, by Richard S. Rog- 

 ers of Danvers, two yokes of working oxen, one seven years 

 old, the other four years, which were very fine cattle. The 

 latter, in the opinion of the Committee, are the finest pair of 

 cattle they have ever seen at any exhibition of stock within 

 the county. Respectfully submitted by

GEORGE N0RTON'L> STATEMENT 

 I enter for premium one pair of fat cattle, seven years old, 

 girth seven and a half feet, and weigh, the oti' ox one thous- 

 and nine hundred and ten pounds, and the nigh ox, one thous- 

 and seven hundred pounds, being weighed this day at the 

 town scales m Essex. They have been owned by me over 

 six months last fast. 



Their feed in winter, and until they went to grass in July, 

 has been half English and half salt hay, with two quarts of 

 meal apiece daily. They were kept at work all that time 

 hauling timber — and the hardest kind of work too. They 

 have also worked in tlie same way occasionally since they 

 were turned out to pasture. I shall also enter them this day 

 for drawing, as they are remarkably well trained and powerful.

 the past season, a less team than usual for me to have. My
