The First Prize Shorthorn Cow, Class 10, No. 89, £25: and Gold and Silver Medals, as the Best Steer or Ox, at the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, 1857. 'The gold medal for the best beast in the yard fell this year to a Shorthorn, bred and fed by Mr. Edward Wortley, a yeoman-farmer, of Bidlington, near Uppingham, in the little county of Rutland, beating some of the most celebrated breeders, and a fair percentage of tha Peerage. Pure Shorthorn oxen, as has been previously observed, are becoming scarce, because bull calves are worth more money at one year old, if well pedigreed, than as steers at three years old'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
