The Manager of the Estate reports that the bull has been allowed to remain
with the village cowherds, as none were willing to bring their cows to be
covered at head-quarters. Under such circumstances no register could be
opened for ascertaining the number of cows served during the year. The
Manager says he has seen nearly 42 calves of the bull and they are good
ones, but they are not superior to the calves of the big bulls there. The
bull is appreciated by the people, but its height should have been higher
than that of the local bulls for improvement on the breed of cattle.
The Secretary to the Municipality reports that 150 cows were covered by
the bull during the year 1899-1900. The result is unknown, as the cows
came from different places, and so there is no chance to ascertain whether
there is any improvement in the local breed of cattle. The bull is highly
appreciated by the people.
The Manager of the Morrelgunge Estate, in whose charge the bull is, reports
that the bull has improved the local breed of cattle and is appreciated by
the people; but as he remains loose among the cattle in the field, it is not
certain what number of cows has been served during the year 1899-1900.
The Manager reports that the Hissar bulls are not a success. They improved
the first lot of calves, but the second lot is a very wretched batch.
The Manager of the Estate reports that 33 cows were served during the year.
The result has been generally good, and the Manager notices an appreciable
improvement in the local breed. The calves are generally stout and strong.
although somewhat small in size. The people do not appreciate the bull
owing to the smallness of its size.
The Collector reports that the two Hissar bulls have not as yet been a success.
One bull has been kept in the jail and the other is in charge of Mr. Higgins,
a tea planter at Patya. Several cows have been put to each bull, but they
have refused to serve them. The Patya bull is now being turned out to
graze with the herd in order to see if this may accustom him to cows. The
jail bull was in very poor condition, but is now much better.
The landholder reports that to his knowledge 8 cows were served by the bulls,
all of which are in calf. He also states that as the bulls are let loose among
the herds, several others have certainly been served by them. The people
appreciate the bulls. He further reports that 2, 3 calves produced by the
former bull, which died in March 1899, are stronger and bigger in size than
the local calves.
The Collector reports that 62 cows were served during 1899-1900, and that the
results appear to be satisfactory. Some improvement has been effected on
the breed of cattle. The bulls are much appreciated by the people.
The Joint-Magistrate in charge of the Deputy Commissioner's office reports
that 30 or 35 cows were served by the bull during the year. The result is
not yet known, as they were served as late as June and July last. It is
too early to say whether there is any improvement on the local breed.
The bull does not appear to be appreciated very much by the people judging
from the small number of cows served. It will probably be better appre-
ciated later.
The Chairman reports that of the four bulls one has been kept at Barisal and
one at each subdivisional quarters. The one sent to Bhola is incapable of
serving cows either on account of physical defect or extreme youth. The
three other bulls served during the year 1899-1900, 127 cows, with the result
as far as ascertained in most cases successful. The breed has improved.
The bulls are appreciated by the people.
The Chairman reports that the bull was put to service, but refused to serve.
Out of 33 cows brought to him, the bull served only one. With a view to
make the bull serviceable he has been allowed to graze with the cows, but
the animal remains useless, and there seems little prospect of his improv-
ing. From the number of cows brought to the bull at first, it is evident
that his services would have been appreciated by the people, had he not
proved impotent.
The Superintendent of the Jail reports that there is no record kept to show
how many outside cows were served by the bull during the year 1899-1900.
In the jail 28 cows were served, and there seems to be an improvement on
the breed of cattle. The bull is appreciated by the people, but he is
generally becoming powerless.
I reported upon these bulls last year and endeavoured
to get a refund of money for the Manager, but wag
refused.
I have advised that they be allowed to run with the
herds.
