We have the statement of the historian, Mr. John Speed, in 1627, that the Hereford cattle were the best-conditioned cattle in England. Mr. Gillam says that the Tomkins family were breeders for a long time, and Mr. Hay-. wood also confirms the same. In 1779 Mr. J. H. Campbell takes out one ox to slaughter, and shows quantity and quality that could not come from a mongrel race. In 1798 the Smithiield show brings together all the breeds of the United Kingdom, and be- fore this tribunal the Herefords led the breeds of England, and England led the world. Up to 1851 all breeds of cattle were shown ill competition for the best beef animal. As near as can be ascertained from the records, the relative standing of the Herefords, Short- horns, Scotch, and cross-breeds is shown by the following statement of the prizes won by the different breeds: OXEN AND STEEKS. Herefords won 185 prizes. Shorthorns won 82 prizes. Devons won 44 prizes. Scotch won 43 prizes. Sussex won 9 prizes. Longhorns won 4 prizes. Cross-breeds won 8 prizes. Total prizes, 185 won by Herefords; 190 won by all other breeds. The Hereford oxen and steers winning with- in five prizes as many as all the other breeds combined.
