This cow appears in a number of illustrations, I think born in early 1890's. The bull Paradox was born in 1884 and purchased by Martin J Sutton from J Robertson, Malahide. Mr Robertson was responsible for exporting a significant number of those sent from Ireland to England.

Yes it appears to be, but I have always assumed that "the organs of generation" would include the sheath which of course takes us in bulls virtually to the navel which is the allowed limit in females.
