Red and sleek in Acajou marble was the magnificent champion Shorthorn bull, Bridgebank Pay master, winner of the British and Scotch championships three years, in a row. A Hereford bull champion, Twyford Fairy Boy, with grey-green coat of gold plated bronze, stood 18 in. high, 30 in. from rump to horns.
