THE GUERNSEY BREED 



Imp. Golden Secret of Lilyvale 10028. 



In 1905 Mr. Twombly imported the bull Golden Noble 

 10580, that has four advanced register sons and 18 registered 

 daughters, four of which have advanced register records up 

 to 692.87 pounds of fat. He is perhaps even better known 

 because of his son, Golden Noble 2d 1836, P. S., the record of 

 whose daughters stamp him as the most prepotent sire ever 

 used on the island. It is a great shame that he was killed 

 when he was young and before his worth as a sire was proved. 

 Every daughter of his seems to be a good one, and at this

 pounds of fat. He has also four advanced register sons. On 

 the island six of his daughters have made records up to 698.54 

 pounds of fat. 



Mr. Price in his importations brought over a good many 

 bulls, and among them was Governor I of the Chene 10563, 

 that was sold at auction to John C. Higgins, Delaware City,

 chase Mr. Higgins' herd we were very much impressed with 

 the young daughters of this bull, and the work that they are 

 now doing stamps him as one of the most prepotent of Guern- 

 sey sires. Among his advanced register daughters are Julie 

 of the Chene 30460, with a record of 953.53 pounds of fat; 

 Jehanna Chene 30889, that holds the junior three-year-old
