466 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Fowler. Tregrehan's son, Fowler, made the rep- 

 utation of the Fowler & VanNatta herd. He 

 weighed in matured show condition near 2,800 

 pounds, was very smooth and symmetrical, and with 

 his freedom of movement and gaiety of carriage 

 never failed to present a very imposing front. He 

 was a remarkably w r ell balanced bull, having no 

 special faults. He was not only a show bull, but 

 proved a wonderful stock-getter. One of his daugh- 

 ters, Fowler Queen 2d, owned by John Steward, 

 was first in that great yearling class at the Chicago 

 World's Fair, and her daughter Queenly in her turn 

 afterwards had an unbeaten showyard record. As 

 showing how the blood bred on, her daughter, 

 Prairie Queen, subsequently won first in her class 

 and the junior championship at the Chicago Inter- 

 national. 



Another famous daughter of Fowler was Jewel 

 Fowler, dam of the great steer Jack, which was the 

 first bullock to win a grand championship over all 

 ages and breeds in his yearling form. This honor 

 came to him at the hands of Mr. Eichard Gibson in 

 the show held at Madison Square Garden in New 

 York City. Jack repeated his championship, win- 

 ning at the Chicago Fat Stock Show in his two- 

 year-old form. Jewel Fowler also produced the bull 

 Java, whose get have figured prominently in prize- 

 lists at leading shows. She also produced the fa- 

 mous March On 6th, sold to Mr. Funkhouser when 

 six months old for $1,000, an offer of $7,500 being 

 afterwards refused for him.
