"After a lifetime in which he sired, by artificial insemination, progeny officially estimated to total 212,000, Bendalls Adema, the most prolific bull in the history of Irish agriculture, died quietly of old age at the Dublin Milk Board's Farm".
The non-agriculturally minded would immediately think of the pleasure he must have had 212,000 times. Far from true; as he stood in the Milk Board's Farm at Cloudalkin, his seminal fluids were deceitfully extracted - by sleight of hand you might say - and distributed to recipient females all over the country in horrible little test tubes.
Bred in England, Bendalls Adema came to the Irish Republic in 1965 and was quickly established as sire of some of the best Freisian cows. Not only did he produce the greatest number of offspring in the Republic, he bred quality. On a single day one of his many thousand daughters produced a record 11 gallons of milk for Mr Thomas Fives, of Co. Waterford, her owner.
The bull was 14 when he died. On a Wednesday night the farm staff held what was described as an Irish wake. Paying tribute, Mr William Twomey. a Milk Board Official commented, "He was all man"."
The Bendalls Adema Shield comprises a traditional wooden shield on which is mounted a large, Victorian-looking box (of the protective variety), owned and worn by Joe Greenhalgh, a renowned wicket keeper for the Club in the 1950's and 60's. This most prestigious and unusual award has been autographed and presented at Outwood Club Suppers by some famous names including Jim Laker, Tony Greig, Colin Milburn, Alan Butcher, Norman Graham, Bill Frindall Henry Blofeld, John Edrich Martin Speight and Bob Bevan.
It is awarded to "the person, not necessarily a member of Outwood Cricket Club, who has during the previous season, by an action or series of actions at a cricket match involving Outwood Cricket Club, acted in such a manner to meet certain basic attributes that Bendalls Adema obviously possessed".
