Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 555 
Beport of the Judges of Jerseij Cattle. 
The Classes submitted to us for examin.ation have received our best care, 
We have based the awards as far as is possible upon the milking qualities, 
and it is satisfactory to report that in this respect iudiSerent animals form the 
exception amongst those competing. 
We wish, moreover, to state that it has been an agreeable surprise to find 
classes so good and so well filled in a locality far removed from the Southern 
Counties. 
In Class 107 — Aged Bulls — 14 animals competed. The first prize was 
awarded to No. 948, a meritorious animal, whose produce should come to the 
fore in future Show-rings. The second prize \vas taken by No. 937, a highly 
characteristic and rich animal, which ran No. 948 very closely for first place. 
No. 945 took third honours ; he has an excellent frame, but lacks to some 
extent the colour which is taken to denote richness. The reserve was given 
to No. 951, which was moreover highly commended. This animal has a very 
good fore-hand, and is likely to improve. The other highly commended 
animals were 936 good and serviceable, 941 well framed and rich, 947 good 
points, rather heavy in the head, and 950 well shaped, but not so good a 
mover as he should be. The commendations were 939 and 943. This Class 
of Aged Bulls was exceptionally good. 
Class 108. Bulls calved in 1886. — The first prize went to No. 972, a 
nicely grown animal, with good touch. No. 963, with horns a trifle too 
strong, but otherwise a well-formed animal of good type, came in for second 
place. No. 970, J'oung and promising, took the third prize. The reserve 
number, 953, nice looking and rich, but the nii}ples somewhat uneven, was 
highly commended. Nos. 957 and 967 were also worthy of high commenda- 
tion ; andNos. 955, 959, 961, 964, and 965, were commended. 
Class 109 — Cows, in-milk or in-calf, calved previously to, or in 1883 — 
brought together some excellent animals. The first prize was awarded to 
No. 983, in every respect a good cow, fine throuijhout, rich in quality, aud 
■worthy of the position she has attained. Her weak i»int is an indication of 
eventual sinking across the loins. The second prize was given to No. 976, 
finely bred, udder remarkably well set on, and a good type of the breed. Her 
appearance is somewhat affected by a slight irregularity over the rump. The 
third place was taken by No. 975, a large and fine animal, horns neat, udder 
capacious, rather slack forward, but amply made up by unusual size and rich- 
ness. The reserve number fell to No. 974, which was highly commended for 
her general appearance and good udder. Her head is rather heavy in the 
cheek, but her horns are good. The other highly commended animal was 
No. 980, well framed, but the hind quarters of the udder might be more 
capacious. The commendations were Nos. 981, 984 — a fine useful cow, and 
No. 985. The whole a good Class. 
Class 110. Cows or Heifers, in-milk or in-calf, calved in 1884. — Here we 
had in No. 988 probably the best animal in the whole of the female classes. 
The highly excellent form and development of her udder, with her good lines, 
at once stamp her as an animal not to be easily beaten in the prize-ring. The 
second and third prizes were respectively given to Nos. 994 and 991, possessing 
to a great extent the same points of fine breeding. The reserve number was 
No. 993, which was highly commended, as was also No. 995. The commen- 
dations were Nos. 989, a small dark rich animal, aud 997. 
Class 111. Heifers calved in 1885. — The first and second prizes in this 
Class went to Nos. 1001 and 1002, two animals which balanced one another 
very equally in merit although in different ways, each possessing excellent 
dairy points. The third place was given to No. 1007, an animal of fine 
character, which ran closely in the contest with Nos. 1001 and 1002. No. 1010 
was placed as reserve and highly commended, she being a neat little heifer,
