732 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



massive light roan imp. Golden Thistle, by Roan 

 Gauntlet; imp. Lavenders 33d, 34th, 36th; imp. 

 Sapphire, and from Mr. William Warfield of 

 Kentucky the good heifer Primrose,* derived 

 from imp. Portulacca. In the meantime the 

 Baron Victor bulls from these and the Ameri- 

 can-bred cows in the herd became the admira- 

 tion of the entire American Short-horn cattle- 

 breeding fraternity. Almost without exception 

 they developed into richly-fleshed, short-leg- 

 ged, low-flanked, easy-keeping bulls that served 

 to convince a large majority of the breeders of 

 the Missouri Valley States that the Linwood 

 plan of breeding was correct. They were in 

 demand at from $300 to $600, not only through- 

 out the West but as far East as Ohio, for the 

 purpose of heading good herds. 



In connection with Baron Victor there was 

 used at Linwood, among other well-bred Cruick- 

 shank sires, the red Barbarossa 68197, bought 

 from Mr. Davidson, sired by Cumberland out of 

 Barmpton Spray by Caesar Augustus. He was 

 sold to Mr. Charles E. Leonard of Missouri and 

 used extensively in the old-established herd at 

 Ravenswood. Another bull that achieved rep- 

 utation both as a stock-getter and prize-winner 

 was imp. Double Gloster (49383), a red, sired by 



This Warfield heifer bred to Baron Victor produced the handsome 

 mellow-handling red prize bull Dr. Primrose of the Williams & House- 

 holder show herd. Another Linwood-bred show-yard favorite in that 

 same collection was the Baron Victor heifer Baroness
