When it was finished the cheese weighed 7300 lbs and was 6ft 10 inches across, 21 feet round and 3 feet high. The cheese was transported to the train station by wagon where it was loaded onto the train amongst a crowd of local residents and dairymen. After speeches were made by the men who'd produced the cheese, it was sent to Saratoga for the New York State Fair. The Cheese then made it's way to England and France where it established Canadian cheese, with Ingersoll in particular, as a quality cheese that became very popular.
