NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IV 313 



remarkable quality. In this texture he is far ahead of the Harris bull 

 Repeater 129th, which is a real nugget of beef and more level of rump 

 than the winner. In fact for a long- time they were lined up by the judge 

 the reverse of their final positions. The Harris bull has a wider bread 

 basket than the winner and so has the Hazlett third-prize Hazford Rupert. 

 This one is also very lowset and wide and a typical meat producer. 



Harris was convincingly represented in the class of senior calves by a 

 pair of inseparable Repeater bulls, the tidier of which gained preference. 

 He is a very meaty fellow but higher at the tailhead and not so thick in 

 loin as his very short-legged mate. Hazlett's third-prize calf by Publican 

 4th is a distinctly quality type. Yost had a sensational light red young- 

 ster that won in the junior calf class. He is a son of Bonnie Lad 20th, only 

 two months old, but fleshed to match those approaching the age limit. 

 Smiths had two good January calves that followed in the lineup. 



A pair of short-legged aged cows were clearly the best in their class 

 but some difference of opinion prevailed as to which should wear the blue 

 ribbon. The final winner is Enochs & Wortman's exquisitely finished Dolly 

 Rupert, wide of top and mellow and smooth as ever. Her very thick loiri 

 and full hindquarters complete her extreme beef type and her very sweet 

 countenance aided in determining the favor with which she was regarded 

 as compared with the larger but somewhat rougher Matron Donald from 

 the Harris herd. Both of these are more deeply and neatly covered than 

 the third-prize Mississippi cow or the longer-legged cow from Kansas 

 that stood fourth. The winner of this class kept right on with that record 

 to the chief position in the list. Something of a close contest developed 

 among the eight two-year-olds in which Hazlett's wide-ribbed strong-backed 

 Yerba Santa stood at the top for some time. Finally after minute com- 

 parison the judge shifted her down one place and gave the preference to 

 Yost's Bonnie Doris. This one is similarly wide and she carries more meat 

 in her thighs, while her beautiful horn and general refinement of face and 

 outline are quite pleasing. Two larger but less compactly made cows 

 came third and fourth for Harris. Eleven senior yearling heifers con- 

 ceded the honor to the rather small but beautiful Belle Blanchard shown 

 by Engle. She is very close to the ground, exceedingly short in neck, 

 wide from her rib to the end of her rounds and stamped all over with 

 quality. Another small and neatly fashioned heifer is Yost's Bonnie Made- 

 line which was finally moved up a notch at a time from fifth place to 

 second. This left the large thickly covered Hazlett heifer Bloss 16th in 

 third place and just above Yost's Bonnie Easter, which is of very similar 

 type. These two are not so smooth about the pinbones as the first pair. 

 This was a very strong class. Junior yearlings counted thirteen and 

 included a beautiful pattern of the breed in Yost's Bonnie Augusta, which 

 later bore off the junior champion ribbon. She was mapped out with a 

 straight-edge, and a very long rump is about as distinctive as her very 

 closely packed flesh. She is a bit larger but scarcely so thick through the 

 Vjottom of her rounds as her mate, Lady Aster, that came next. A roomy 

 level-backed miss shown by Engle in third place had just a little more 

 finish to her covering about the tail-head than the Harris fourth-prize- 

 winner. 



When the senior heifer calves, sixteen in number, filled the ring with 

 white faces they drew about them a throng of admirers which kept a 

 couple of soldiers busy making room for the judge to work. The Harris 

 entry. Miss Repeater 141st by Repeater 57th, is one of the shortest-legged 

 ones in the class and her sweet front, meaty back, loin and hindquarters, 

 all evenly blended, gave her the title to a blue ribbon. She is straighter 

 in back and neater at the tail-head than the similarly thickly covered 

 P^ngle calf sired by Beau Blanchard. This one came second and barely 

 beat a straight topped yellow red daughter of Bonnie Lad 20th from the 

 Yost herd. Numbers fell down to eight in the junior heifer calf class. 

 Four of them are fine prospects and the best one appeared to be Yost's 

 elegant nugget of beef Donna Woodford 5th, sired by Woodford 1st. She
