Judging Cattle at the Paris 1856 Show
A reminiscence from the Live Stock Journal recalls the Paris International Cattle Show of 1856 with French government incentives for foreign exhibitors. It notes 1194 entries in the foreign Shorthorn class, 36 prizes, and Master Butterfly winning first prize before being sold to Australia for 1200 gas. Irish breeder C E Gray criticizes the rapid French judging process as biased toward milking traits.
