DISS, December 16.
Show of Christmas Beef. - Mr. Edward Plummer, butcher, Diss, exhibited in the Market-place on Friday last six very superior bullocks; 4 of these, 3 steers and a heifer, were half-bred shorthorns, fattened by Francis Oddin Taylor, Esq., Winfarthing, and were supposed to weigh upwards of 100 stone each; they were very neat, of good symmetry, and well filled up in all points. The other two were over-yeared homebred bullocks, fattened by Mr. Woodcock, Bressingham, and estimated at upwards of 100 stone each. They were remarkable for the smallness of their bone, and the immense quantity of profitable meat they carried. The entire lot was greatly admired by the graziers attending the market, and it rarely falls to the lot of a butcher in a provincial town to have it in his power to offer to his customers such a prime lot of Christmas beef. |
