318 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



the Kentuckians were availing themselves of 

 the stock imported by Col. John H. Powel of 

 Pennsylvania, Messrs. Warfield were fortunate 

 enough to secure the hull Oliver (2387)*, that 

 proved a remarkably successful stock-getter 

 undoubtedly the best of all the Powel bulls 

 brought West. Capt. Ben Warfield became 

 part owner of the Ohio Co. bulls Matchem 

 (2283) and Goldfinder (2066), and also had some 

 service from imp. Prince Charles (2461). Prob- 

 ably none of the earlier Warfield bulls, however, 

 proved more successful than the famous roan 

 Cossack, alias Julius Caesar (3503), dropped the 

 property of Mr. Clay by the imported cow Moss 

 Rose, by Eclipse (1949), brought out from Eng- 

 land by H. Clay Jr. and Gen. James Shelby of 

 Fayette County in 1839. This bull had for sire 

 the Booth-bred Cossack (1880), and his blood 

 was for many years to be found in some of the 

 best Short-horns in leading Kentucky herds.

* No less than twenty-two bulls and thirty-two cows of Col. John Hare 

 Powel's breeding or importation were taken to Kentucky largely between 

 1831 and 1830. While Oliver (2387) was undoubtedly the best of these Powel 

 bulls, the outstanding 1 cow acquired by Kentucky from the Powelton Herd 

 was the Booth-bred Isabella, by Pilot (see page 185). She was probably the 

 most celebrated cow of her day in the Ohio Valley States, and at the sale 

 of her produce by her owner, Mr Sutton of Fayette County, Sept. 26, 1837. 

 her son Frederick 515 sold to Buford A Scott of Franklin County for $1,310; 

 her heifer Western Daisy went to Joel Scott at $745; heifer White Rose to 

 James Shelby of Fayette County at $735, and biill Cyrus to E. S. Washington 

 of Fayette County at $81*", Another daughter of Cleopatra, Sally Jackson, 

 was sold privately to /. S. Berryman & Co. for $2,000!
