The Oxford family descends from Oxford Daisy, F. 6816

 Oxford Lass was dam of Oxford Lad, P. 3123 H. C, one of 

 the great bulls of the island, sire of Majesty, Lucy's Champion, 

 and Sultana's Oxford Lad, and also sire of forty-two tested cows. 

 Oxford Lass was also granddam of Oxford You'll Do 11 1860 

 (imp.), winner of first prize over Jersey in 191 1 and a noted sire 

 of tested cows. The Oxford family is one of the most po-pular

The Cowslip family descends from Cowslip, P. 24 C, a first- 

 prize cow on the island in 1876. Her granddaughter Cowslip 

 i6th, P. 6084 H. C, by Golden Lad, is regarded as the essential 

 head of this family. Cowslip i6th was winner of the Parish 

 Prize on the island in 1902, but she is most noted as the

 exceptional merit, especially in production.

 America, and has a large number of officially tested daughters 

 to his credit. 



The Financial Interest family descends from Interest, F. 3582 

 C, a remarkable producer of milk and progeny. She has an 

 island record of 56 pounds of milk in twenty-four hours and 25

 of notable daughters, including Finance, P. S. 4611 C, the dam of 

 Financial Pride and Financial Queen, P. S. 7766 H. C, 155098, 

 the latter being dam of Financial Countess 155100 with register 

 of merit record of 935 pounds 10 ounces of butter in a year.
