and as the Herefords have always been noted for superior 

 grazing qualities, he soon built up a trade that absorbed all 

 his supplies and which furnished him the wherewithal to 

 carry on his campaigns to bring the merits of Hereford cattle 

 before the people of the United States. He also began im- 

 porting the best animals, and ere long aroused and secured 

 strong support from business men of ability who saw money 

 in the Hereford cattle. Importations followed thick and fast, 

 and the growth of the breed in public favor, especially for 

 grazing purposes, has been marvelous. 



It would be manifestly unfair to omit the name of Mr. 

 T. F. B. Sotham from this short account. The son of Wm. 

 Henry Sotham, he inherited from his father a love for the 

 white-faces, and has ever been a leader in building up the 

 breed. He has had many worthy contemporaries, and the 

 breed is today a leading one in the United States.
