EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART IV 249 



And still the numbers grew. The senior bull calves fairly crowded the 

 ring with their forty-five head, constituting the open class and the 

 futurity show. A pleasing- Anoka pair of roans won the blue and red 

 ribbons. The darker one Anoka Champion by Sultan Stamp is accounted 

 about the best, ever produced at Anoka. He has much width, very 

 smoothly-laid thick flesh and a perfectly straight topline. In the latter 

 respect he excels Merry Stamp. These two are somewhat lower to the 

 ground than the third roan Cumberland Marshal 5th, and they have a 

 superior quality of flesh. The fourth one Supreme Choice is also roan, 

 and is smaller, very thick in thighs and covered with a mossy coat. A wealth 

 of promise developed throughout the prize-list. 



Eleven junior calves found leadership in Pritchard's small nugget of 

 beef Dale Viscount, done up in a roan hide. It would be hard to put more 

 weight into so young a bull, and his bulging thighs bespeak a wealth of 

 muscle mixed with the fat. He is smooth as an egg and carries a well- 

 bred head. A growthier roan came second for Toyne, sandwiched in 

 ahead of a very neat white Anoka entry. The Bellows calf is a little 

 higher set and oame fourth. 



THE cows. 



Eleven aged cows with their little calves portrayed the matronly qual- 

 ities of the red, white and roan. The sensation of this clas^ was the 

 queenly roan Maxwalton Queen which easily won pride of place for Car- 

 penter & Carpenter. She is big, wide, very level and very smooth from 

 end to end, and has a motherly front and nurses a young calf. She is 

 wonderfully sappy and fresh for a five-year-old, and a credit to the female- 

 siring reputation of Avondale. Toyne's roan Bonnie Belle 14th is similarly 

 thick but not so smooth, although a year younger, and his roan "Village 

 Lassie that won third carries a lot of beef, especially over the back and 

 loin. She is smoother of rump than the big red Baroness Lady 7th shown 

 by Kennedy in fourth place. 



A highly attractive imported roan with accurate lines, very thick cov- 

 eiing and ample hindquarters won the blue ribbon for Bellows among 

 the two-year-olds. She has abundant quality but less scale than the 

 second-prize roan Lady Violet 8th shown by Rees, which has remarkable 

 spring of rib. McDermott had one of his thick Cumberland Marshal 

 heifers in third. She is white and already has a calf. 



Among seventeen senior yearlings there were three mossy roans sorted 

 out for the higher places. The Kennedy entry Miss Lovely possesses dis- 

 tinctive character and her long rump and square corners set off to ad- 

 vantage an altogether pleasing" beef form. The Prather heifer Village 

 Blossom 8th that followed is similarly thick-fleshed and very smooth. 

 She beats the Carpenter & Carpenter entry especially in smoothness over 

 the rump. The fourth heifer is also a roan. She does not show so much 

 quality as the first three but carries a world of thick flesh. 



About twenty-flve junior yearling heifers made a strong class. The 

 growthy meaty roan Choice Mayflower annexed a blue ribbon for Miller. 

 It was a close contest because the Bellows roan which came next is sweeter 

 of face, although not so near perfect in form. Another heifer of char- 

 acter, and from the same herd and by the same sire Radium, is the Bel- 

 lows entry Clara 70th, much like her mate, only not quite so smooth. 

 She won third, and a big roan came fourth. 



There were thirty-four senior heifer calves, making an excellent ^'uturity 

 class in which four outstanding roans secured the principal positions. 

 One of the Bellows daughters of Radium led this lineup and became junior 

 champion and futurity champion. She is a sweet-faced model of beef 

 form, lower set and thicker than the other Radium calf which won second. 

 The winner is well named Lovelly of Parkedale 16th and her mate is 

 Queen of Beauty 36th. The Prather third-prizewinner is of much the 

 same stamp and so is the Anoka fourth-prize calf. Bellows had another 

 Radium heifer that stood in sixth place.
