HEAVY BUYING IN ENGLAND BEGINS 431 



cow Nancy 2d 2534, and was sold to Messrs. Fowler 

 & YanNatta, Fowler, Ind., in whose large herd he 

 rendered good service, his blood being carried by 

 many of the show cattle sent out in later years 

 from that establishment. 



Anxiety would beyond doubt have made a mem- 

 orable record as a sire had he been spared for serv- 

 ice, but unfortunately again for the best interests 

 of the Herefords in the middle west Mr. Culbert- 

 son during the years immediately following the 

 brief period of service in the herd was selling freely 

 of his young stock to Joseph Scott for use on the 

 southwestern range. Hence some of the rare blood 

 went to wear itself out in that exacting service. 



Description of Anxiety. We have already stated 

 that as a youngster Anxiety had been faulted a bit 

 in England as being " effeminate, " but good judges 

 here assert that the head itself became thoroughly 

 masculine, although the horns were not so heavy 

 as the average. They were tapering, fairly well 

 spread, pitched forward and a little downward. 

 However, he was not dish-faced, which is usually 

 considered a mark of weakness of constitution, 

 had good width between the eyes and a wide poll. 

 His neck was good until the joining of the shoul- 

 ders. He had a slight depression just forward of 

 the shoulder point which was attributed to the un- 

 natural position in which he had to stand on account 

 of his deformity. His shoulders were splendidly 

 covered, his crops wide and full, his ribs broadly 

 sprung and deep.
