The General Manager, Ward's Estate, informs that the bull has covered only
13 cows, and states that the bull is not good for breeding purposes.
The Chairman of the Municipality has been addressed to inform me about
the whereabouts of the bulls, but no answer has been received in this
office.
The bull covered many cows, but died six months after its arrival, leaving two
calves.
This bull has covered 16 cows or more, and is appreciated
It was recommended that they should not be used for breeding purposes till
they improve considerably in condition.
The result of breeding is not known in this office. No arrangements could
be made for its keep, and he was returned to Belgatchia, where he died of
cattle plague.
Two are too small for issue, and are used for cart work. Two are used for
small cows brought to bo covered; they are used for cart work, but will
be distributed if applied for.
History of the bulls obtained, through the Director, Zand Records, for breeding purposes.

... Appreciated at first, but when results could be judged by progeny, the bulls
ceased to be useful. One died in 1895: the other is still useless.
This bull is appreciated, but it is impotent, owing
probably to bad management. When I was at
Chittagong I have advised the Manager as to treat-
cent.
I have only seen one of these bulls in the herd ; it is
small; there are 2 bigger bulls—one a young cross-
bred Hansi, tbe other a cross-bred Patna.
A success.
Some disappointment was felt at the small size of
these bulls when they arrived (58" and 69").
Their condition has improved lately, and they have
began to cover cows.
This bull was badly shaped in front and not fit for
breeding draft cattle. A failure.
Has died recently. This bull is said to have stood
64 inches behind the hump.
I have seen some of his progeny; it was very good
and received two prizes at Berhampur fair.
Failure through bad management probably.
A failure. Too big.
Possibly the dustur may be prohibitive, There
are five cows in the district.
Success.
Doubtful.
It is proposed to place some of his cross-bred sons in
Darjeeling district.
Failure from what I have seen of the local cattle.
I fear the bulls may have been too small to please
the raiyats.
