HEAVY BUYING IN ENGLAND BEGINS 423 



Eodney; Nancy, also bred by Carwardine and got 

 by Longhorns; and Fancy, of Aaron Rogers' breed- 

 ing. The yearling bull Sir Garnett 2489, bred by 

 Ben Eogers and sired by The Grove 3d, was also 

 bought.* 



Morgan could not possibly have foreseen at that 

 time Anxiety 's real value. No more could Carwar- 

 dine. He had been unbeaten as a calf at the shows 

 of 1877, including the Royal,- the Bath and West, 

 the Herefordshire, Ludlow, Leominster, and New- 

 port exhibitions. As a yearling he was first at the 

 Worcestershire, and second at the other important 

 events. As a two-year-old in 1879 he swept the 

 boards at the Royal and was second at the Bath and 

 West. He was recognized as one of the crack young 

 bulls of the day, but there was nothing on which 

 to base any opinion so far as his probable value as 

 a stock-getter was concerned. So Morgan bought 

 him at the very good price of 200 guineas, and in 

 all probability Carwardine thought him quite well 

 sold at that figure. The bull had some slight de- 

 formity in his front feet and ankles, and besides was 

 faulted somewhat by the ' ' talent ' ' about the British 

 showyards as being rather too "effeminate" to ever 

 make a good breeding bull. But alas for the falli- 

 bility of human judgments !

*Mr. John Gosling chanced to be in England at the time on 

 a visit home, and quite by accident he met Morgan and Joe Scott 

 in the streets of Liverpool the day the cattle were being loaded 

 for America. Morgan said, "John, come with me and I'll show 

 you the best bull you ever saw." This was, of course, Anxiety, 

 and Gosling was so interested that he assisted in the debarkation 

 to the extent of leading the famous bull on board the ship about 

 to sail for America.
