Livestock. 204 CATTLE (440), Hope (411), Chance (355), Defiance (416), Prince Dan- gerous (362), Lot (364), Lottery 2d (408), Young Favorite (413), Wonder (420), Fitzfavorite (441), Hamlet (512), Original ist (455), Young Waxy (451), Purslow (446) and Conqueror (412). There is scarcely a line of Hereford breeding to-day that is not traceable to the Hewer stock. Thomas Jeffries, of The Grove, Pembridge, and other estates, was born in 1796 and died in 1843. He was a son of Thomas Jeffries, and came from a family of well-known Hereford breeders. He first began with the Hereford stock developed by the family, but later infused the blood of cattle bred by John Hewer, hiring from him Sovereign, Lottery, Byron, and Fitz- favorite. This blending of blood brought about remarkable suc- cess, and Jeffries produced numerous famous animals. Cotmore (376), by Sovereign, which he bred, has been classed as one of the finest Hereford bulls of history. Foundation Herefords of importance are the following: Silver Cow of Richard Tomkins ; Pigeon and Mottle of Benjamin Tom- kins the Elder; Welling- ton (4), Silver Bull (41), Slit Teat Cow, Storrell, Old Rose, and Old Lovely of Benjamin Tomkins the Younger ; Toby Pigeon, by Toby (5), of John Price. These were really fundamental stock in the early establishment of the breed. Among other very important Hereford males that had a great influence on the breed in England in the last century may be mentioned Sovereign (404), Old Wellington (507), Old Silver (540), Waxy (403), Cotmore (376), Lottery (410), Chance (348), Sir David (349), Walford (871), Sir Benjamin (1387), Sir Thomas (2228), Horace (3877), Winter De Cote (4253), and Lord Wilton (4740). These bulls are insep- arably associated with the development of the breed in Fig. 82. Dale 66481, by Columbus 51875. One of the greatest Hereford bulls in the history of the breed, both as sire and show bull. Bred by Clem Graves, Bunker Hill, Indiana.
