As in former years, several animals were disqualified on 
account of their milk being below the standard, while, as 
mentioned above, two cows wei’e prevented by the carelessness 
of their herdsmen from competing. 
The following cows gave milk below the standard of 
3 per cent, fat : — 
1 Shorthorn out of an entry of 8 
1 South Devon „ 3 
1 Red Polled „ 6 
3 Kerries „ 8 
2 Dexters ,, 7 
1 Cross-bred „ 1 
If the points awarded to each animal in Table I. are 
examined it will be seen that in almost every instance the 
points gained qualified the animal to receive a prize, even in 
those cases where the cows were disqualified because their milk 
contained less than the average standard of 3 per cent. fat. 
The following will make this clear : — 
5 Shorthorns out of 6 competing gained the necessary points. 
4 Lincolnshire Red Short-horns out of 4 competing gained the necessary 
points. 
3 South Devons out of 3 competing gained the necessary points.
