Excerpt from Transactions of the Worcester Agricultural Society: For the Year 1856 Wm. F. Wheeler, of Grafton, Chairman; Charles Bowen, Worcester; Samuel D. Ward, Shrewsbury; Jacob Adams, Northbridge; David Wight, Jr., Sturbridge; E. B. Tainter, West Brookfield; Marshall Flagg, of Worcester. The Committee on Bulls, Class 1, beg leave to report: That twenty legal entries were made, a number unusually large, and in their opinion exceeding that of former exhibitions. They were not made conscious of the length and breadth of their field of labor till they witnessed within the enclosures as noble a collection of First Class Bulls as seldom, if ever graced a County show. All breeds from the earliest to the latest importations had their representives in full purity and grade. An examination of the breeds and pedigree of the different animals developed one fact, characteristic of this exhibition and worthy of remark. No Bull was entered for premium as a pure native nor any in which the native blood so called predominated. All were classed either among the Durhams, Devons, Ayreshires, Alderneys, or Herefords. In each class - except, perhaps the Herefords, the full blood animal was present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
