The Bristol Show , 1913.

Herefords. — The entry of the breed at Bristol was good, but 
there were several absentees, as animals had been sold and 
shipped previous to the Show. Class 121, bulls calved in 1908, 
1909, or 1910, was a good class containing several Champions 
of previous shows. The winner, Quarto , a massive, active bull 
with quality, obtained the Champion as the best bull exhibited 
(see Fig. 7). Avondale , a nice even-fleshed dark-coloured 
bull, was second. The prize winners in the two-year-old bull 
class were animals of great merit. Shucknall Victor , the 
winner, is a heavy-fleshed good type of a sire. The prize 
takers in the yearling classes were well grown and very 
promising for future shows. In three of the female classes 
entries were short. The winning cow and Champion as best 
female (see Fig. 6), Shelsley Primula , was a nice even cow of 
good colour, with a grand udder — a most important point at 
present in these days of milk demand. May Morn , first prize 
winner and reserve Champion in the three-year-old class, is a 
big well grown heifer and very promising as a breeding cow. 
The winning two-year-old, Misty , was an easy winner, with 
good flesh and nice mellow touch. Yearling heifers, Class 123, 
had a larger entry ; the four prize takers were all good, and it 
was a matter of opinion to place them, all having been winners 
at previous shows. 
Devons. — Excepting the old bulls, there was strong com- 
petition in all the classes, which were each of high merit ; 
but some of the heifers, in the Judge’s opinion, had been rather 
overdone to be of much value for breeding purposes hereafter. 
The dairy class was particularly strong, and spoke well of the 
breed as good milkers. 
South Devons. — There was a good show of this breed of more 
than average merit. In the old bull class all the exhibits were 
grand animals, and the competition for premier position was 
very keen. The class for two-year-old heifers was a grand one, 
and the whole lot were commended. The young bull class 
produced some grand youngsters, good in colour, showing 
plenty of growth with excellent quality. The exhibits were 
uniform in colour, and with good coats ; and the whole of the 
exhibitors are to be congratulated on sending such a grand lot 
of this breed, well illustrating their rent-paying capabilities 
both as to their heavy milking qualities and for the production 
of beef of the very best quality. 
Longhorns. — The show of Longhorns, on the whole, was 
indeed a very good one, and the Judge was very pleased to find 
such fine, typical animals of this breed, which is very fast 
improving, and is a great credit to its breeders, being in all 
twenty-nine in four classes. The winner in the cow class 
showed excellent milking qualities, rather low in flesh, but
