At this most remarkable contest in the history of the breed, Pedro won first prize in his class, led the first-prize herd, and took the sweepstakes for Jersey bulls. Several of his get won honors in the younger classes, and the first-prize "young herd" were "all Pedros."

During the public tests mentioned, under very unfavorable conditions, this cow averaged over 40 pounds of milk a day for five months, her total yield being exceeded (by 70 pounds) by only one of her seventy competitors. She made 3 pounds of butter a day several times, ...
