From the above it appears that Fayette 

 County buyers took eight head, Bourbon, Scott 

 and Mercer Counties five each and Jessamine 

 County four. In view of the fact that this sale 

 was made during a period of declining values 

 the prices obtained were excellent and dem- 

 onstrated the pluck of the Kentucky breeders 

 of that day. 



Importations into Tennessee. The great 

 interest manifested in Short-horn breeding in 

 Kentucky extended at an early date into the 

 neighboring State of Tennessee, and a few cat- 

 tle were imported into that State prior to 1840.
